How We Deliver Value at Every Step

Across the practice, Comprehensive Cancer Centers purposefully creates value with each patient interaction. In-house pathology laboratories and pharmacies greatly impact not only cost but timeliness to care. Efforts over the past several years to reduce medical expenses in the oncology space have steered our practice to create an infrastructure that not only enhances quality but also reduces the cost of care.

Our Results

External radiation therapy uses high-energy X-ray or electron beams delivered by a linear accelerator and aimed at specific points on the body.

These breakthrough technologies permits our radiation oncology team to treat more challenging types of cancer and develop individualized treatment plans for patients.

Reducing ER VisitsIn a 6-month period, we had a 10% reduction in ER visits.

Swiftly responding to urgent patient needs by using technology like symptom tracker applications.

Advocating for patients with insurance providers, drug companies, and non-profit organizations to help reduce out-of-pocket costs.

Educating patients to improve medication adherence.

Evidence-Based Medicine: Clinical Rigor Meets Patient Value

Clinical pathways are evidence-based protocols that evaluate various treatment options and narrow them to a concise list of choices, ensuring both optimal outcomes and maximum value. A powerful regimen-support tool assists physicians in selecting the best possible treatments using the latest advances in therapy.

CCCN and the Clinical Trial Advantage

Our practice participates in The US Oncology Network’s Value Pathways using NCCN evidence-based guidelines.

We are affiliated with UCLA TRIO-US, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and leading pharmaceutical companies—including AbbVie, Amgen, AstraZeneca, Bristol Myers Squibb, Genentech, Gilead, Janssen, Lilly, Merck, Novartis, Pfizer and Regeneron—to bring groundbreaking clinical trials close to home, some of which are not available anywhere else in the world. We provide clinical trial options in all four phases and in almost all tumor types, including lung, head and neck, breast, melanoma, lymphoma, bladder, uterine, ovarian, and brain.

Clinical trials available in almost all tumor types

At [Practice], our team is committed to providing immediate appointments for newly referred patients, offering prompt support for those who need to be seen quickly.

At Comprehensive Cancer Centers of Nevada (CCCN), we are committed to delivering the highest standard of oncology care.As part of this commitment, all CCCN Registered Nurses (RNs) and Nurse Practitioners (NPs) are required to obtain national certification through the Oncology Nursing Certification Corporation (ONCC). Our RNs earn the Oncology Certified Nurse (OCN®) credential, and our NPs achieve the Advanced Oncology Certified Nurse Practitioner (AOCNP®) designation.These certifications reflect our dedication to clinical excellence, ensuring our patients receive care from professionals with advanced knowledge and specialized expertise in oncology. CCCN and its personnel have also undergone a rigorous evaluation to achieve accreditation from the American College of Radiology (ACR), a respected national professional organization representing over 36,000 professionals including diagnostic and interventional radiologists, radiation oncologists, nuclear medicine physicians, and medical physicists. Additionally, our practice operates seven in-house laboratories accredited by the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA), demonstrating a commitment to high standards in clinical testing.

Physicians may recommend radiation prior to surgery to shrink the size of the tumor or when location restricts surgical options. After surgery, patients may be advised to receive radiation to eradicate any remaining cancer cells at the tumor bed.

Internal radiation therapy involves the implantation of radioactive material directly into the body.

Image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT)

Image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT) combines 3-D images, such as CT scans, with the precise technology of either 3-D or intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) to pinpoint and treat cancerous tumors. Daily images are taken prior to treatment for accuracy and precise treatment delivery.

Breast cancer treatment

MammoSite delivers a high daily dose of HDR brachytherapy to the area where breast cancer is most likely to recur after a lumpectomy. MammoSite works from inside the body via a discrete balloon catheter system implanted in the breast lumpectomy cavity. The system is in place for five days with treatments given twice a day, versus other treatments that may take five to seven weeks.

MammoSite®

SAVI™

Contura™

The SAVI applicator delivers a high daily dose of HDR brachytherapy via multiple catheters that allow clinicians to contour the radiation and protect nearby healthy tissue. This approach provides great flexibility in the delivery of the radiation.

The balloon delivers a high daily dose of HDR brachytherapy via five channels for the radioactive source. These channels allow clinicians to shape the radiation and administer radiation only where it is needed, thus protecting healthy tissue. Treatment time is decreased to just five days versus up to seven weeks.

Radiation in combination with surgery

Radiation to relieve symptoms

Radiation with chemotherapy

Intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT)

Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) is an advanced form of external radiation treatment that allows precise targeting of tumor cells. The CT simulator localization scan or other 3-D images provide the radiation oncologist with an understanding of the shape and location of the tumor, increasing treatment accuracy while avoiding surrounding healthy tissue and organs.

Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT)

Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) is an advanced type of radiation therapy that delivers high doses of radiation using several beams of varying intensity aimed at a very targeted area of the body. Due to the high intensity of the radiation dose, only one to five treatments are given over a period of 1 to 5 days.

Volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT)

This machine rotates around the body and uses specialized software and advanced equipment technology to allow highly accurate treatments to be delivered more quickly than standard radiation treatments.

High dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy

HDR brachytherapy utilizes radioactive material inserted into applicators within body cavities or tissues near the tumor. HDR brachytherapy is a temporary implant conducted in the outpatient setting and minimizes treatment time. HDR allows for radiation directly at the tumor bed, avoiding surrounding tissue by treating the tumor from the inside out.

ClinicalTrials

Radiation therapy can be used as a main treatment or in combination with chemotherapy if the tumor is inoperable or if the patient is not healthy enough for surgery.

Radiation therapy may be recommended to relieve palliative symptoms of advanced cancer by reducing the size of the tumor, and thereby its effects on surrounding organs and tissues.

Gynecologic cancer treatment

HDR is used to treat gynecologic cancers by delivering radiation internally and precisely targeting the tumor, minimizing the impact on the surrounding healthy tissue and limiting side effects. An applicator is inserted internally and is removed once treatment is complete. Treatment time is significantly reduced to three to six treatments lasting 10 to 20 minutes each.

HDR

Optimal outcomes are achieved by incorporating the latest and most effective treatments, such as promising new immunotherapy drugs, new combinations of existing drugs, new types of radiation therapy, or novel clinical trials.

Treatment side effects are minimized by selecting the most effective, least toxic therapy for the patient.

The financial burden of care is reduced by identifying less-expensive treatment options that produce equal or even better outcomes.

A respiratory monitoring system allows patients to breathe naturally and comfortably during treatment while ensuring accurate targeting of tumors. Through a two-way communication system, a clinician can stay in constant contact with the patient for the entirety of their treatment.

These leading-edge technologies are available close to home, eliminating the need to travel to other cities to receive cancer care.

Prostate Cancer Treatment

The Hydrogel spacer pushes the rectum away from the prostate, decreasing rectal injury and radiation dose delivered to the area during prostate radiation therapy.

A type of brachytherapy radiation treatment, prostate seed implants are very small radioactive pellets permanently inserted into the prostate. They give off low doses of radiation over time and become inert.
