Welcome to the website of the Simmons Cancer Institute at SIU's Thoracic Oncology Program. Here, we offer a multidisciplinary approach to provide the best approach to cancer care. This means that when you become our patient, a medical oncologist, radiation oncologist and surgeon will all discuss your diagnosis and work together to determine the most current and appropriate treatment for you. We incorporate a holistic approach to cancer care. You will have a nurse practitioner available to answer any questions you may have and to coordinate your care. Our nursing staff, pathology, radiology, psychology, and dietary departments are additional team members who will devote their experience and expertise to your care, treatment and recovery.
