Diagnosis & Treatment
Cancer diagnosis and treatment have a profound affect on patients and on their families. Our experience with patients has demonstrated the need for additional care beyond the traditional diagnoses and treatments for cancer. Patients need information and support for emotional, spiritual and social needs. We offer a number of supportive services.
 
Supportive Care & Rehabilitative Medicine
Rehabilitation and supportive care are an integrated part of Utah Cancer Specialists. Gregory J. Miller, MD, helps patients maintain the maximum independence and functionality possible during and after treatment.

This care and rehabilitation starts at the time of diagnosis and is coordinated through a patient’s oncologist to ensure the entire scope of treatment supports the patient’s cancer treatment and rehabilitation. Depending on a patient’s needs, supportive care treatment plans may include exercise physiology, acupuncture, massage therapy or consultation with a dietician, clinical psychologist or a personal or spiritual advisor.
 
Education
Every UCS location has patient education services and information.
Our programs include:
   • Quality of Life
   • Stress Management
   • Chemotherapy classes
   • Support groups and activities
 
Complementary Care
In addition to traditional medical treatments, we work in partnership with community experts and professionals to coordinate a wide range of complementary treatments. Any complementary or alternative medical treatment should be coordinated with a patient’s UCS doctor to ensure the treatment is not counterproductive to physician prescribed oncology treatments.

   • Complementary Natural Medicine
   • Nutrition During and After Cancer Treatment
   • Therapeutic Massage and Reiki Therapy
   • Symptom Management
