Compassionate Care Beyond Cancer
The Dan L Duncan Comprehensive Cancer Center was founded with a vision of providing exceptional cancer care to patients in the Greater Houston area, across Texas, and beyond. Since its inception, the center has grown to become a leading provider of cancer care, recognized for its compassionate approach, personalized treatment plans, and access to innovative clinical trials.
At the Dan L Duncan Comprehensive Cancer Center, we are committed to putting our patients first. We understand that a cancer diagnosis can be overwhelming, and we strive to make the treatment process as stress-free and supportive as possible. Our experienced team of oncologists, navigators, nurses, and staff work closely with each one of our patients to develop a personalized treatment plan that meets their individual needs and goals.
Cancer doesn't solely impact your physical health; it deeply influences your mental and emotional well-being too. Furthermore, your cancer diagnosis can alter your loved ones' outlook, disrupt their sense of normalcy, and even impact their daily routines.
Cancer doesn't just impact you and your loved ones; it resonates with us on a personal level. It inspires our unwavering commitment to guide you towards recovery through every means possible.
We are a cancer center that believes in an interdisciplinary approach to precision medicine. This means we dig down to the molecular and genetic makeup of your tumor. This means we get to know your specific disease. To us, you are not just a patient. We see you as a unique human being with ideas, concerns, and expectations.
We get to know you so that your treatment plan is exactly right for you. We want you to get better and enhance your quality of life.
Our approach means that we work together, to do the right thing for you. We want to keep your stress low and your spirits high — and infuse every moment with humankindness. So your cancer treatment plan is truly personal.
Because we believe that there’s a difference between curing a disease and healing a whole person.
To us, you are more than just a number.
The latest and greatest treatments are just the beginning. Healing a whole person means looking beyond the disease. And our extensive, multidisciplinary team is here to do just that – offering care for nearly every aspect of your therapeutic journey and beyond.
Our financial counselors will help you focus on care over costs. Our nurse navigators and patient advocates will guide you through your journey. Our social workers can help heal your family, our pharmacy liaisons will help manage your medications, and our genetic counselors get down to the tiniest details. Our entire team is here to fulfill the promise of personalized, precision medicine – to make healing as simple and stress-free as possible.
Our goal is to find the best treatment approach for your specific disease to achieve the best outcome.
That means employing advanced genetic and molecular testing to give us the best understanding of your specific disease. Then, we develop an individualized care plan uniquely suited for you. A treatment plan that gives you the best chance for recovery, lowers your stress and helps you manage your quality of life through treatment — and helps you heal as a whole person.
Our renowned physicians and other providers are committed to incorporating the very latest medical breakthroughs into your treatment plan. Through our partnership with Baylor College of Medicine, we’re constantly engaging in clinical trials focused on the latest in drugs and devices, new procedures or treatments, or behavioral changes. Our dedication to cutting-edge medicine is matched only by our dedication to you.
Our patients inspire us every day. When you persevere, we are inspired to push even further. When you heal, we are healed in return. Our compassionate, committed teams are inspired to do everything they can to help you on your therapeutic journey. That means helping you navigate insurance. That means supporting you at every stage. That means healing the body, mind, and spirit, as well as the disease.
