Colon/Rectal, Head and Neck, Lung or Skin Cancer
There are many types of cancer seen in our community. However, colon, rectum, head & neck, lung, ovarian, and skin cancers occur more frequently than other forms of cancer. For this reason, Alta Bates Summit has ensured our community members receive the best possible care by keeping up on cancer research, medical technologies, and enhanced training and expertise. If you or someone you love has been diagnosed with one of these cancers, you can be sure that we have several teams of clinicians who specialize in your care.
