Beyond chemotherapy: the evolution of cancer care
- Cancer treatment has moved well past the one-size-fits-all chemotherapy of the 1940s, with today's care combining targeted therapies, immunotherapies and other drugs matched to each patient's tumor biology.
- Doctors now also watch the heart: cardio-oncology teams monitor and manage cardiovascular effects before, during and after cancer treatment so patients can keep receiving the therapy they need.
- Lee Health plans a new facility at Veterans Parkway, slated for late 2027, to bring comprehensive cancer and specialty care closer to Cape Coral and Pine Island residents.
