Welcome!

Please note: All events at the Alan B. Pearson Regional Cancer Center have been canceled until further notice.

Additionally, the Cancer Center has updated visitor restrictions below:

In our ongoing effort to protect the health and safety of our patients and staff, no visitors will be able to accompany patients at Centra Alan B. Pearson Regional Cancer Center for the duration of this crisis. We understand that this may be a difficult adjustment for our patients and their loved ones, and we don’t take this step lightly. However, it is a critically important measure to protect our patients and staff. This change means:

• No visitors are allowed to accompany adult patients, with very limited exceptions for patients with significant physical or cognitive disabilities.
• All people entering the cancer center will be screened for symptoms such as fever, cough and shortness of breath. Any pre-approved visitor with obvious signs of illness will be kindly asked to leave.
• If you have symptoms of a cold or flu (cough, fever of 100.4 or greater, difficulty breathing, nasal congestion, rash, body aches, chills, sore throat or if you have recently been tested for COVID-19), please call your oncologist before your appointment.
• If you are in treatment, we want you to keep your scheduled appointment if you can safely do so. We have no plans to postpone appointments for patients who are actively being treated for cancer or related conditions.
• We know that loved ones are a vital part of the healing process. When possible, we encourage you to use your smartphone or other mobile device to stay in touch with your friends and loved ones during your visit.

Centra's comprehensive cancer services and treatments range from the newest minimally invasive robotic surgery and Trilogy linear accelerator to chemotherapy, biological, and targeted drug therapies; genetic testing; nurse navigation; survivorship; and clinical trials.

Centra treats a broad range of cancers, including lung, prostate, breast, brain, kidney, bladder, ovarian, lymphoma, leukemia, colon, uterine, and rectal. In 2008, Centra opened the Alan B. Pearson Regional Cancer Center, bringing radiation and medical oncology together in one facility for patient convenience.

Designed with cancer patients and their families in mind, the Cancer Center combines a comprehensive array of services in a new center of hope and healing. A team of board-certified physicians and highly skilled clinicians collaborates on personalized treatment plans for patients and supports them through every step of their cancer journeys. This team approach has earned Centra national recognition with full accreditation and a commendation from the American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer. The Cancer Center is also an accredited facility with the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers. In addition to radiation and medical oncologists, the multidisciplinary team includes a broad range of expertise from nurse practitioners and nurses to clinical trials, patient navigators, social workers, and chaplaincy staff members.

Physicians from the Alan B. Pearson Cancer Center also see patients at the Southside Hematology Oncology clinic located at 800 Oak Lane in Farmville, VA.  They can be reached at 434.315.2690.
