Personalized Treatment Plan

We know from experience that each cancer patient’s journey is unique, which is why we create a personalized treatment plan for each patient. In the past, patients with the same type and stage of cancer would typically receive the same treatments. However, now, thanks to advances in medicine and research, our cancer care team is better able to match patients with treatments that are more likely to be effective.

At the Yuma Regional Medical Center Cancer Center, we take a holistic approach to treating cancer patients and include their families as part of our team approach. In addition to addressing the biomedical aspects of the cancer, we consider its biological, psychological and social aspects, as well. We also perform genetic tests on the patient’s cancer cells and/or normal cells to gain valuable information we can use to formulate individualized treatment strategies that can be more effective and cause fewer side effects.
