Cancer is a complex and varied disease. It can begin anywhere in the body and spread for reasons that are not yet understood. Even the same kind of cancer behaves differently from one patient to the next.

To find the most effective treatment for each individual, Huntsman Cancer Institute scientists, medical professionals, and educators work cooperatively with patients and family members. This team approach means that patients benefit from the combined expertise of cancer specialists. Each team may include the following members:

• urologists
• oncologists
• radiologists
• interventional radiologists
• pathologists
• surgeons
• nurses
• nutritionists
• pain medicine and palliative care specialists
• genetic counselors
• educators
• laboratory researchers
