Dr. Edgar Staren: The key to the success at CTCA in treating patients with cancer is our team approach. Our model is based on what we call the Mother Standard. The Mother Standard means we are going to treat patients in a manner that we would treat our mother, our father, our brother, and our sister. One of the most important aspects to that kind of a treatment is communication. You can’t treat a patient well in isolation. You can be the most skilled surgeon, skilled radiologist, the most skilled medical oncologist, but treatment for cancer now-a-days is multimodal. You take advantage of these skills, and the technology that are in multiple disciplines. If you try to treat somebody in isolation, you may end up doing something that is not optimized by one of your colleagues if you’re not working in concert. We believe it’s important to have all of those disciplines under one roof, that communicate, so that, that treatment plan is orchestrated well.

Real Patients. Real Stories. Real Hope.

Do these videos feature real cancer patients?

Yes, the videos in this section feature real CTCA survivors with real stories to tell. These are not actors. They are cancer patients who came to CTCA and emerged as survivors. These stories are not scripted. They are personal accounts of people who found hope, and a voice, at CTCA. This is what they have to say, in their own words...

Why are some, not all, cancer types listed?

At CTCA, we treat individuals with a variety of cancer types. However, all of our survivors are not on film. If you don't see a survivor with the cancer type you're looking for, it only means we do not have a video at this time.

Keep in mind, we are continuously adding videos to this section. If you don't see the one you're looking for today, visit us again, or let us know how we can improve.
