Newport Hospital is home to the Lifespan Cancer Institute Breast Cancer Multidisciplinary Clinic, joining Miriam Hospital and Rhode Island Hospital as the only medical facilities in the state to offer care in breast cancer detection, diagnosis, treatment, recovery, and support.
The multidisciplinary team utilizes a breast tumor board, which is a personalized approach to care that includes involvement from surgeons, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, phlebotomists, pathologists, social workers, breast navigators, and imaging department specialists who work together to determine a long-term plan that is personalized and monitored for every patient.
