Also known as Oncology
At some point, cancer touches nearly all of our lives. If it affects you or a family member, know that you’re in good hands at BID Needham. We deliver state-of-the-art cancer care in a warm, supportive environment. It’s the kind of care we’d want for ourselves or our loved ones. And it’s here in our own community, just minutes from home.
At the Lank Cancer Center located at BID Needham, we focus on providing care that’s compassionate, team-based and centered on you. World-class specialists who are members of Harvard Medical Faculty Physicians at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) make up our team. These include experienced medical oncologists, radiation oncologists and surgeons. They’re the same experts you’d see if you traveled to Boston — and they’re available right here in Needham. Other caring professionals, including hematologists, oncology nurses and specially trained social workers, join them in your care.
Team members consult with one another — and you — about your care. We make sure you and those who care about you understand your options and can sort through all the medical and very personal decisions you face.
Together, your team comes up with the best possible treatment plan for you. We also assign you a primary nurse. The nurse is here to answer your questions and help coordinate and manage your care. We’re committed to providing you with the support you need every step of the way — from diagnosis through your recovery.

Our services are offered in the Lank Cancer Center. This modern, 30,000 square-foot facility is conveniently located next door to BID Needham. It was designed with you in mind.
The center offers top-level treatment technology and high quality cancer care on two floors of the cancer center. Architects also incorporated plenty of natural sunglight and a healing garden that can be seen from our treatment areas.
