Fighting cancer: the most effective treatments delivered with expertise and compassion

The Patricia A. Joyce Comprehensive Cancer Institute (CCI), located on the Olympia Fields campus, brings together cancer specialists and a full array of cancer-fighting technologies in one location to help patients with their fight against cancer. We are the only cancer center in the area to offer both radiation and infusion therapies under one roof ? providing great convenience and comfort for our patients. The CCI services include education, early detection, prevention, diagnosis and treatment of cancer, all delivered with the highest level of compassionate care.

In 2006, St. James was approved as a Teaching Hospital Cancer Program by the American College of Surgeons. Approval as a teaching hospital cancer program is only given to facilities that are associated with a medical school and offer the full range of diagnostic and treatment services.

Team

By taking a multidisciplinary approach, the CCI cares for a wide variety of adult patients with virtually all types of cancer. To treat this diverse population, the CCI attracts nationally recognized physicians, who play a key role in our multidisciplinary approach to cancer care.

In addition to their surgeons, patients are assigned a multidisciplinary team of board-certified medical oncologists, radiologists, pathologists, radiation oncologists and other clinicians who meet regularly to discuss and coordinate their care and treatment. By leveraging the collective experience of our group of specialists in one place, the CCI relieves much of the stress cancer patients face. We also make care and treatment convenient.

In addition to the physician experts, patients at the Comprehensive Cancer Institute have access to our Nurse Navigators. A Nurse Navigator helps patients find answers through the continuum of care.
