Frequently Asked Questions
Are more services available through the Cancer Network?
The Cancer Network offers the same services that have historically been available in West Michigan. These include radiation oncology, medical oncology, cancer surgery and support services.
Cancer specialists from the Cancer Network collaborate in meetings called tumor boards. These discussions help us determine the best course of care for complex cases. We are also making it easier to receive advanced services, including leading-edge cancer clinical trials, locally in West Michigan.
As a current patient of Trinity Health or University of Michigan Health-West, what will change for me?
Changes are minimal in the short term. You continue seeing cancer specialists at your preferred location. If you might benefit from a service only available in a specific location, we may recommend receiving part of your care at that facility. We coordinate all the details so you can focus on feeling better.
Are all of the services I need in West Michigan, or will I need to travel to Ann Arbor?
The Cancer Network helps more people receive the cancer care they need without leaving West Michigan. On rare occasions, we may recommend an advanced treatment, like a liver transplant, that’s only available at University of Michigan Health in Ann Arbor.
