The center is nationally accredited with commendation by the Commission on Cancer of the American College of Surgeons, accredited in radiation oncology by the American College of Radiology, and has earned the Women’s Choice Award for five consecutive years (2016-2020) as one of America’s “Best Hospitals for Cancer Care.”
Saint Anne’s provides specialized care for cancer patients who require hospitalization, delivering holistic care that addresses a patient’s physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. Our nursing model fosters the valuable relationship between nurse, patient, and patient’s family, creating a comfortable and familiar atmosphere.
Both the Fall River and the Darmouth centers provide comprehensive medical oncology and hematology, radiation oncology, and related professional and support services.
The goal of radiation therapy is to deliver radiation that targets cancer cells while sparing healthy tissue from damage. Several different radiation therapy techniques have been developed to accomplish this. Depending on the type of cancer to be treated, radiation therapy may be administered externally, or internally using special radioactive techniques.
Our advanced radiation therapy technologies include:
Access to national clinical trials is available through through the National Cancer Institute.
Our board-certified and fellowship-trained radiation oncologists, who are affiliated with Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Harvard Medical School, offer the region’s most extensive array of radiation therapies at our locations in Dartmouth and Fall River. As a multidisciplinary team, oncology specialists work together to develop individualized treatment plans for each patient. We ensure that referring physicians and other cancer care specialists involved in the patient’s care are kept informed of those plans and the patient’s progress during and after radiation therapy.
Other members of the team include medical physicists, medical dosimetrists, radiation therapists, specially trained nurses, support staff (including social workers, physical therapists, and registered dietitians focused on caring for patients with a cancer diagnosis).
Saint Anne's Hospital Regional Cancer Center delivers the latest medical oncology and hematology care, including chemotherapy, biological and other targeted therapies, hematology services, access to national clinical trials, and support services. We offer these therapies and services to patients and families in the Greater Fall River and Greater New Bedford areas.
The center's medical oncology and hematology medical staff consists of a team of highly trained physicians. In addition, our registered nurses trained in medical oncology are among the region’s most accomplished nurses in the field of cancer care. They maintain extensive training in the administration of chemotherapy, and many have earned prestigious oncology-certified nursing (OCN) certification. The national OCN designation, awarded to registered nurses by the Oncology Nursing Certification Corporation, signifies advanced cancer care knowledge and practice.
The surgical oncology experts at Saint Anne’s Hospital Regional Cancer Center are integral to our patient-centered, multidisciplinary approach to cancer diagnosis and treatment.
The surgical oncology team collaborates closely with the hospital’s team of top cancer specialists in providing leading-edge treatments and the most technologically-advanced, minimally invasive surgical techniques.
