From state-of-the-art screening and diagnostic tools to high-tech minimally invasive procedures to immunotherapy, Saratoga Hospital offers a level of cancer care and expertise typically associated with large medical centers. That means the vast majority of our patients can avoid the added burden of traveling long distances for treatment, often while managing uncomfortable side effects. 

Many of today’s cancer therapies are less toxic, more targeted, and often more effective than those available in the past. Your treatment most likely will include a combination of therapies involving one or more of the specialties below. Treatment decisions will be based on the type of cancer you have and other personal considerations.

Saratoga Hospital Medical Group – Oncology/Hematology offers our patients an outstanding team of board-certified physicians employing the most up-to-date equipment and advanced diagnostic techniques. Our cancer physicians completed their training at some of the nation’s most prestigious medical schools. They came to Saratoga to practice in a community where they could make their homes, raise their families, and deliver the type of care they want—and expect—for their loved ones. As members of the community, we offer our patients a more personal, local connection during an otherwise stressful, and often frightening, time.

Our affiliation with Albany Med strengthens Saratoga Hospital’s cancer profile, including a direct link to the Capital Region’s only pediatric cancer center. The relationship enhances access to clinical trials and enables us to continue to attract highly qualified physicians from some of the top cancer programs in our nation. In addition to physicians, our cancer team includes nurses, technicians, oncology nutrition experts, physical and occupational therapists, and other providers. These specialists work closely with surgeons, radiation oncologists, and primary care physicians to help coordinate and manage each patient’s care. All work hand-in-hand to meet your needs as a patient and as an individual.

“The breadth of experience and level of expertise here is exceptional. Ninety percent of the tumors we see can be treated locally.” 
  – John Delmonte Jr. MD, Medical Director, Oncology/Hematology
