Cancer Services
At the Rush-Copley Cancer Care Center, our philosophy is to address cancer as a continuum including education, screening, diagnosis, treatment, survivorship, as well as end of life, social and spiritual issues. The services we offer are a reflection of our philosophy and are at the heart of our mission.
As a leader in cancer care, Rush-Copley offers the latest advances in cancer care such as advanced diagnositic services, access to clinical research trials, state-of-the-art radiation therapy, radioactive seed implant therapy for prostate and gyne cancers, and chemotherapy in private treatment rooms.
