When your patient is facing a potential cancer diagnosis, we are here for you. We welcome you as part of our multidisciplinary team personalizing your patient’s care plan to their unique diagnosis and care needs.

Hematology and Medical Oncology

Our team of hematology and medical oncology experts utilize chemotherapy, hormone therapy, targeted therapy and immunotherapy to treat cancer and hematologic conditions. We collaborate closely with Providence Genomics lab and the Earle A. Chiles Research Institute to be at the forefront of treatment innovations.

Surgical Oncology

Our team of surgeons and surgical oncologists manage all aspects of surgical care for a wide range of cancers and benign conditions. You can find more information about the surgical services and treatments offered for your patient’s diagnosis on our list of cancers and conditions we treat.

Radiation Oncology

Our team of radiation oncology experts offer extraordinary care using state-of-the-art technologies such as HDR Brachytherapy, MRI-guided linear accelerators and Gamma Knife.

As the research arm of Providence Cancer Institute in Portland, Oregon, the Earle A. Chiles Research Institute is an established pioneer, a recognized Center of Excellence and a global leader in precision immuno-oncology and cellular therapy. Our contributions towards the advancement of cancer treatments have resulted in a Nobel Prize in medicine, and established immunotherapy as a standard of care in the treatment of many cancers.

For over 25 years, our research has been at the forefront of immunotherapy, which is made possible largely by the generosity of our donors. Today, we have over 45,000 square feet dedicated to our lab research and core facilities, where our team of scientists and clinical researchers work together to seamlessly join cancer research and medical practice.

With access to cutting-edge immunotherapy medicines and treatments currently in development, our patients are often among the first to benefit from groundbreaking clinical trials. Our clinical research portfolio is extensive, and many trials we offer are not available anywhere else on the West Coast. We are a global leader in immunotherapy and remain steadfast in our commitment to develop improved cancer treatments and to #FINISHCANCER.

Providence Cancer Institute is proud to offer multidisciplinary cancer conferences to help providers discuss diagnoses, treatment planning and other case-specific topics. The conferences are located in the Portland Service Area, but offer remote access for health care providers through Microsoft Teams technology.
