That\u2019s exactly what we offer at Regional Cancer Care Associates. Here\u2019s a look at how we personalize cancer treatment to each patient.\nPreparing for Your First Appointment\nIt all begins prior to your initial consultation. Upon learning your diagnosis and scheduling your first appointment at Regional Cancer Care Associates, we will ask you to send us your medical records in advance. That way, we can begin to review your case before you even arrive at one of our 30 locations across New Jersey, Connecticut and Maryland. We\u2019ll be prepared to welcome you into a supportive environment, and we\u2019ll have a clear idea of what your personalized cancer treatment plan may entail.\nWhat to Expect at Your Initial Consultation\nDuring your first appointment, our focus is all about understanding your personal needs. You will receive a physical examination by one of our oncologists, who will also discuss your diagnosis, medical history, family history of the disease and probable cancer treatment plan. The doctor also will answer any questions you may have.\nTo determine which treatments are best suited for your individualized situation, your doctor will order blood tests, biopsies and other types of tests. If necessary, medical imaging scans, such as with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT), will be ordered for further analysis at a later date.\nNavigating Your Treatment Options\nUpon receiving the results of your tests, we will call you to schedule your treatment regimen.  Completely personalized to you, your treatment may include one or more of the following services from Regional Cancer Care Associates, all of which are performed using the most advanced methods and state-of-the-art technologies:\nSurgeryChemotherapyImmunotherapyTargeted therapyRadiation therapyHematologyRadiosurgeryGenetic testingPalliative careClinical trials\nPre-Treatment Education\nThe final step before starting treatment involves a one-on-one educational session with your oncologist and team of specialists.
