Cancer - the word itself can stir a lot of emotions. But when you or someone close to you is diagnosed with it, cancer takes on a whole new meaning. Fortunately, the Fairbanks Cancer Treatment Center (FCTC) offers patients treatment for most cancers without having to leave their family, friends and support network. This is an immensely important factor in cancer treatment. Having the emotional support of nearby friends and family is often vital to recovery.

With the needs of the cancer patient in mind, the FCTC houses both radiation therapy and an independent medical oncology (chemotherapy) practice. Having these services within the hospital allows cancer patients access to a variety of medical services in one location (lab, x-ray, etc.) and the ability to coordinate their care with their local doctor. More importantly, patients are able to stay home and close to their families during treatment. They can also take advantage of the center's educational resources, numerous support groups and other services for patients, their family and friends.
