The Gayle and Tom Benson Cancer Center addresses an important focus of the Ochsner multidisciplinary team approach: the social, physical and emotional impacts of cancer treatment. Our patients benefit from a collaborative approach to cancer care by a highly skilled team of medical oncologists, radiation and surgical oncologists, oncology nurses and social workers. As Louisiana’s leader in cancer care, Ochsner has joined forces with the nation’s leader in cancer care, the world-renowned MD Anderson Cancer Center, to bring an enhanced level of comprehensive cancer care to our patients.
