The Cancer Center of Excellence (CCOE)

The Cancer Center of Excellence (CCOE) in Worcester, MA, is dedicated to providing exceptional, compassionate care for individuals facing cancer through a collaboration of 72 specialized clinical physicians across multiple disciplines. Our mission is to enhance patient outcomes by offering the most effective diagnoses and treatments, particularly through clinical trials facilitated by our Cancer Research Office (CRO). This organized team not only ensures quality assurance and regulatory compliance but also focuses on high-level cancer research and develops innovative clinical trial protocols in partnership with regional institutions. Our comprehensive cancer care services encompass blood and marrow transplants, advanced surgical techniques, chemotherapy, gene sequencing, genetic counseling, and supportive care, including palliative services tailored to improve quality of life. Additionally, we are committed to making care accessible, providing financial assistance to eligible patients with household incomes below 600% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines, ensuring that they are not billed more than the standard amounts charged to insured patients. With an emphasis on collaboration and cutting-edge treatment options, CCOE strives to be a beacon of hope for both adult and pediatric cancer patients in the community.
