Lehigh Valley Topper Cancer Institute

Cancer care excellence

Outstanding cancer care requires collaboration among multiple cancer specialists, including medical-, radiation- and surgical oncologists. Our membership in the Memorial Sloan Kettering (MSK) Cancer Alliance takes this concept to another level. We work alongside the best and brightest cancer experts to bring you leading-edge care and access to groundbreaking clinical trials.

Access to clinical trials

For decades, LVHN has had a hand in advancing cancer care through participation in prestigious clinical trial networks. This tradition carries on in clinics throughout the region.
