The Clearview Cancer Institute Shoals location is conveniently located in Florence, AL close to Muscle Shoals, Tuscumbia, and Sheffield.

This location offers all the same amenities as our other full infusion cancer clinics and treats all types of cancer patients and patients with blood disorders.
Medical oncology is the treatment of cancer with medicine such as chemotherapy, biotherapy, immunotherapy, and hormones. Our medical oncologists treat all types of cancers, such as tumors and blood cancers, with the most innovative treatments available, including infusions. Infusions are treatments given through the veins with a solution created by medical specialists.
Radiation oncology is a specialty dedicated to the treatment of cancer through radiation, or in combination with surgery and/or chemotherapy. The two main types of radiation therapy are external beam therapy and internal radiation therapy. These therapies are used to release radioactive substances into small areas of the body to avoid damaging normal tissue not affected by cancer.
Hematology treatment for blood disease may involve medications, blood transfusions, immunotherapy, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or a bone marrow transplant. Your treatment plan will depend on the specific characteristics of the blood disorder you have been diagnosed with, and what path your doctor has discussed with you.
Unfortunately, the delivery of cancer therapy, like chemotherapy, often affects the body’s normal organs and healthy tissues. The consequence of damaging healthy tissue and affecting other organs not touched by cancer, is a complication, or side effect, of treatment. As part of the treatment plan, side effects are measured and recorded, to make sure our patients continue to be taken care of. Some treatments may be added, to help ease the side effects you may experience, but they may not be able to be altered too much, to avoid interruption of treatment effectiveness.
This clinic has a dedicated social worker, financial counselors, genetic counselors, clinical trials, lung cancer screenings, and many other services. Our oncologists and hematologists in Florence treat all types of cancer patients.
