About Cancer Treatment Centers of America

Our oncologists, nurses and other clinicians offer a level of expertise that comes with working with cancer patients every day. Cancer treatment is our specialty.

Expert cancer care.

Treating cancer requires fighting the disease—and so much more. It’s about treating the whole patient, and recognizing that each person comes to the journey with his or her unique needs, challenges, preferences and goals. It’s about treating each patient with compassion, dignity and respect—the way we’d want our own loved ones to be treated. We call that approach the Mother Standard®    of care. It’s the principle upon which Cancer Treatment Centers of America® (CTCA) was built, because it’s the kind of care Founder Richard J Stephenson wanted for his own mother when she was diagnosed with cancer. His mother’s experience inspired Mr. Stephenson to pioneer a new model of cancer care that treated the whole person with empathy while attacking the disease with state-of-the-art medicine.

Whether it’s tailoring treatments to address both the disease and its side effects, or helping patients make educated decisions about their care, or guiding them through the complexities of the cancer journey, the Mother Standard offers a comprehensive, compassionate patient experience.
