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.
