Big problems are solved by teams of people who have big ambitions and who won’t stop until they find a way through. The compassionate care happening every day at Siteman Cancer Center is powered by the innovative research and care of WashU Medicine physicians and scientists along with the technology and infrastructure of BJC HealthCare, bringing together the brightest minds — from bench to bedside — to collaborate with the purpose of understanding, treating and curing all cancers — from the most common to the most rare and complex.
At Siteman, patients are partners in their care, empowered and engaged in their own treatment plans and recoveries. And many can play a critical part in the advancement of treatments for all by courageously participating in clinical trials.
As a top national cancer center, Siteman provides innovative approaches and effective treatment options, committed to bringing cancer patients the extraordinary gift of an ordinary day, and giving those previously thought to be out of options new ones to consider.
“Twenty-five years ago, we had two aspirational goals: One, we wanted to be experts in every kind of cancer; and two, we wanted every patient’s experience to be unique and have the maximum amount of support, providing them more hope and cures.”
— Timothy J. Eberlein, MD, director of Siteman Cancer Center and the Spencer T. and Ann W. Olin Distinguished Professor and senior associate dean for cancer programs at WashU Medicine
