The Alvin & Lois Lapidus Cancer Institute offers the most advanced
diagnosis and treatment for a wide range of cancers. Sinai Hospital and
Northwest Hospital's vision of coordinated, multidisciplinary oncology care
places the patient and family at the center of a coordinated set of services and
specialists who work on behalf of the patient.


The Alvin & Lois Lapidus Cancer Institute offers one of the region's most
sophisticated array of services for cancer patients, including the
revolutionary CyberKnife�, which uses cruise missile technology to
noninvasively target tumors that were previously inoperable.
Members of
the Institute actively participate in clinical research studies, providing
patients with the most advanced treatment modalities available. Working together
as a multidisciplinary team, our specialists offer a wide variety of treatment
options and supportive care in pain management and nutrition.
Across
disciplines, we have built the Alvin & Lois Lapidus Cancer Institute with
patient-centered care in mind. We have developed a team that offers an advanced
level of expertise unique among the area's community-based institutions. At both
Sinai Hospital and Northwest Hospital Center, patients and their families find
something rare: an institution large enough to offer leading-edge care, yet
small enough to touch their individual lives.
