Marquette General Cancer Center

When the diagnosis is cancer, you want every available resource at your disposal. At the Marquette General Cancer Center, a team of experts work together to manage your care.

We are a Community Cancer Center approved by the American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer, and that's your assurance of excellent care.

The treatment of cancer today requires the use of many modalities. Surgery, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, and radiation therapy are well known. Interventional Oncology is a new field for cancer treatment that uses minimally invasive local procedures to target tumors while preserving surrounding tissue and decreasing recovery time for patients.

The Cancer Center offers all of the currently approved methods of cancer diagnosis and treatment including surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, hormone therapy, and clinical research.

Cancer specialists from Marquette visit eight communities throughout the U.P. to see patients on a regular basis.

The Karmanos Cancer Center and the Marquette General Cancer Center have signed an affiliation agreement to collaborate on cancer care and research. As an affiliate of the Karmanos Cancer Center, the Marquette General Cancer Center will continue to offer unique cancer treatment options, and provide access to higher-level clinical trials to patients living in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. As part of the agreement, physicians at the Marquette General Cancer Center will be a part of the Karmanos Multidisciplinary Team structure. This means cancer patients at the Center in Marquette who need a second opinion may have a built-in review by Karmanos Cancer Center physicians, who will provide input on proposed treatment plans.
