The board-certified medical oncologists, radiation oncologists and surgeons who staff our west county facility also practice at Siteman’s main campus in St. Louis and collaborate regularly with other Siteman and Washington University physicians. In addition many Siteman surgeons and specialists practice in other offices on the campus of Barnes-Jewish West County Hospital, making it possible to receive comprehensive care in one location. The staff also includes registered nurses with specialized training in caring for cancer patients. A research coordinator is available to talk with patients about possible participation in clinical trials, which provide access to new medications and treatments not available at most cancer centers.
