Cancer care coordination

Cancer care coordinators help you through every step of cancer diagnosis, treatment and healing.

Your cancer care coordinator is a registered nurse with experience in oncology, the medical and nursing specialty focused on cancer care. Cancer care coordinators are also sometimes called care navigators or nurse navigators.

The coordinator works closely with you, your doctors and other care team members. Your coordinator helps you learn about and understand your diagnosis and treatment options while also coordinating all the steps needed to make sure you receive the best possible care.
