Cancer care
At Kaiser Permanente, you have an experienced team of cancer specialists working together to care for all that is you. And our members are 20% less likely to die early of cancer compared with nonmembers in their community.1
Our oncologists aim to detect cancer as early as possible. That includes in-person, phone, and email reminders about which screenings you may need. In fact, we lead the nation in cancer screening rates.2
Our dedicated oncology teams have access to the latest treatments and therapies, and our members have better survival rates for several common cancers.3 So whether your cancer is rare, common, or complex, you’ll get the most advanced care plan.
Your care team will continue monitoring your health during recovery and beyond. Plus, they’ll help you get the physical and mental health support you need to stay healthy.
Our dedicated care teams build personal, trusting relationships to support all that is you — physically, mentally, and emotionally. We’ll be there every step of the way, so you and your loved ones can focus on what matters to you.
With your total health in mind, our specialists regularly collaborate to share the latest cancer research, clinical trials, treatments, and best practices. And we’ve treated more cancer patients than most providers. This means you get the most advanced cancer treatments and experience available — for even the most complex cancer cases.
