Locking hands and rubbing shoulders with patients in their fight against cancer is what Washington Cancer Institute is all about. To this end, the institute provides excellent support staff, top medical facilities, the latest technologies and procedures, and the expertise of many different specialists.

At the Washington Cancer Institute, a cancer patient is much more than just someone with cancer. Each person has symptoms, diagnosis, prognosis, fears and apprehensions that are typically his own. No two persons are ever alike just as no two cancer patients are ever alike even though the two may be said to be suffering from the same syndrome, say mesothelioma. WCI recognizes and heeds this philosophy; so we find teams of specialists from different disciplines coming together to provide a holistic treatment plan for every patient – a plan that is developed specially for him. This plan is discussed with the patient and after coming to a joint consensus, the individualized treatment plan is then administered by the physician and oncology nurse who together serve as cancer care advocates till you are in the hospital and even during follow-ups. The single-minded aim it to provide the best possible outcome.

It is by no means a small feat to be considered ‘the best medical center for the treatment of cancer in the Washington metropolitan area.’ It is hard work to live up to the reputation.
