Cancer Center

At Tufts Medical Center Cancer Center, patients diagnosed with cancer can access a broad spectrum of specialized services. Our team comprises esteemed medical professionals, including hematologists, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, surgeons, pathologists, nurses, social workers, researchers and other dedicated partners. Together, we work collaboratively to devise a comprehensive treatment strategy tailored to each patient's individual needs.

Commitment to Health Equity

Health equity priorities 

Tufts Medicine is committed to ensuring everyone can achieve and maintain their full health potential. That is how we define health equity. To realize our bold vision of creating the most equitable and frictionless healthcare experience in the world, we are focused on four overarching health equity priorities to eliminate disparities in access to care, quality of care, and health outcomes:  

  • Access to quality and equitable care: Ensure all people, regardless of social factors, can get timely, affordable, high-quality, equitable health services from culturally competent providers.  
  • Physical, mental and social well-being: Play a critical role in supporting behavioral health and health behaviors that contribute to physical, mental, and social well-being, not just the absence of disease, or infirmity.   
  • Health-related social needs: Identify and address community-level barriers to health, influence policy through advocacy efforts, and make investments to ensure equitable access to living conditions that affect a wide range of health, functioning, and quality-of-life outcomes.  
  • Address bias in medicine: Represent the communities we serve and build workforce capacity to eliminate biases historically entrenched in medical research, education, and practice.  
At Tufts Medicine, we're all about making sure that everyone can achieve and maintain their full health potential. That's why we're excited to tell you about our new initiative - "We Ask Because We Care." We're going to teach our team members all about the importance of gathering important data and help our patients understand how it can benefit them and their community.
