When your patient is facing a potential cancer diagnosis, we’re 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.
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.
Our team of surgeons and surgical oncologists manage all aspects of surgical care for a wide range of cancers and benign conditions. Visit Providence Cancer Institute of Oregon for more information about the surgical services and treatments that we offer for your patient’s diagnosis.
Our team of radiation oncology experts offer extraordinary care using state-of-the-art technologies such as high-dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy, MRI-guided linear accelerators and Gamma Knife.
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.
Providence Cancer Institute's virtual oncology lectures provide busy clinicians with critical updates and clinical pearls from experts they can trust. We designed these live, educational opportunities to facilitate collaboration with primary and specialty care teams on the latest best practices in patient care.
Lectures are scheduled during lunchtime through Microsoft Teams and will focus on a specific oncology topic with a Q+A session at the end.
We publish monthly Classic Heme Hot Topics articles written by Christine Johnson, M.D., a hematology oncology specialist with Providence Cancer Institute. Each article addresses various classical hematology topics and answers questions currently relevant to primary care physicians.

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.
