At Valley, you’ll have a team of specialists in your corner. This is particularly important for cancers in the digestive system.
That’s because these cancers may require advanced diagnostic tests, procedures and treatments — all working together to treat the cancer.
Depending on the location and stage of the cancer, your care team may include surgical oncologists, medical oncologists and radiation oncologists. You may also work with other specialists like gastroenterologists, interventional radiologists, social workers, dietitians and more.
You play the most important role in your care. From the beginning, your team will get to know you and how cancer is affecting all aspects of your life. They’ll include you in every decision and will tailor your care plan to your needs.
Together, you and your team will discuss your case, weigh your treatment options and make a plan.
With this highly personal, well-coordinated team approach, you can be confident your team knows and understands all aspects of your care.
Valley offers state-of-the-art genetic profiling for gastrointestinal cancers. This includes:
The results of these tests help us develop your personal treatment plan, using therapies proven to be most effective.

They’ll help determine the right specialists for your needs and will schedule your appointments. Additionally, they’ll make sure you have all the tests and imaging you need — ensuring you can get the care you need as seamlessly as possible.
