The
Mass General/North Shore Cancer Center is found in the rear lower level of the
Mass General/North Shore Center for Outpatient Care, located at 102 Endicott Street in Danvers.
Designed by the architectural firm of Shepley Bulfinch Richardson & Abbott, the Mass General/North Shore Cancer Center occupies the entire lower level of the Center.
The beautiful, pristine space houses 24 infusion bays for chemotherapy, three state-of-the-art linear accelerators for radiation therapy (with plans for a fourth to be installed as the need arises), 13 exam rooms, and a dedicated blood lab and pharmacy just for cancer patients.
The infusion bays overlook tidal wetlands and a healing garden with a paved path, benches, fountain, and flowers and trees.
The Cancer Center is open from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. Call 978.882.6060
Our clinical services include
medical oncology,
radiation oncology,
gynecologic oncology,
genetic cancer risk screening, and
multidisciplinary clinics in breast, lung and prostate cancer. We also provide free
or discounted wellness services for our patients, including acupuncture, reiki, chi gong, strength and flexibility program, massage and yoga through the Wellness and Integrative Medicine Department. In addition we have a range of
support groups to empower our patients to embrace self-healing, stress reduction, and coping.
Although we now have a new name and a new location, we still have the same committment -- to bring compassionate cancer treatment to patients of the North Shore. This commitment inspires everything we do -- from providing advanced chemotherapy and radiation therapy services, to researching new and promising therapies, to supporting our patients and their families through the emotional demands of illness, to the annual Cancer WALK, which raises hundreds of thousands of dollars to ensure state-of-the-art cancer care for the North Shore. Together, we are committed to offering unparalleled cancer care and work to ensure that our patients receive the most up-to-date treatments and research advances. Our collaboration in providing clinical trials offers North Shore patients that latest in emerging treatments and therapies.
