Did You Know?

Take Advantage of Chiropractic Benefits

Chiropractic care is now available at all of the Cancer Treatment Centers of America (CTCA) hospitals.  Chiropractic is a supportive therapy that promotes well-being and improved quality of life, complementing our conventional therapies.  

Chiropractic benefits extend beyond reduction of back or neck pain, it can also alleviate a variety of symptoms. Read more about chiropractic care and the benefits for cancer patients. 


Cancer Fighters Stories

PAC MembersThe Patient Advisory Council (PAC) is a group of 12 patients across the nation that meets on a quarterly basis to provide a patient’s point-of-view on upcoming initiatives at Cancer Treatment Centers of America (CTCA).  The current PAC provided valuable insights and perspectives to help CTCA better serve patients.  As their two-year term comes to an end, we recognize the outgoing PAC members for their dedication and commitment.  Read about their highlights and view the member list. 

One of our cancer fighters, Lynette Bisconti, was recently a guest on Today, talking about her battle with breast cancer.  Lynette discussed the important role of patient advocacy and empowerment in her triumph over cancer, and shared how Cancer Treatment Centers of America supported her life and health goals.  Watch Lynette’s segment and learn about her participation in Cancer Fighters.
