Virgin Islands Chemotherapy and Immunotherapy Treatment

 

At St. Thomas & St. Croix Cancer Specialists, we provide compassionate, local chemotherapy and immunotherapy treatments for patients throughout the U.S. Virgin Islands. Our state-of-the-art private infusion centers are equipped with everything needed to comfortably receive life-saving treatment — with your family by your side and the gentle waves of the island rolling outside.

It’s important to note that when you or a loved one receives a cancer diagnosis, you’ll face a lot of emotion — fear, anxiety, anger. This is completely normal and nothing to be ashamed of. No matter how you feel, our team is here to make things easier with personalized care plans, in-house lab services and unwavering support. 

If you’re not sure where to begin, we recommend reviewing our What to Expect page for a step-by-step guide to starting the care you need.

Chemotherapy Treatment

Chemotherapy is a treatment we provide at our U.S. Virgin Islands clinics that uses powerful drugs to target and destroy rapidly dividing cancer cells throughout the body, impeding their growth.

Our dedicated team administers these treatments in a comforting outpatient setting, prioritizing ease, comfort and individualized care. The chemotherapy treatments we offer come in different varieties depending on you or your loved one’s unique needs:

  • Intravenous (IV) chemotherapy that’s delivered through a vein with the assistance of medical professionals

  • Oral chemotherapy that’s taken by mouth in the form of pills or capsules

  • Regional chemotherapy with more targeted delivery to specific areas of the body as opposed to through a cannula, line or infusion port

With a focus on effectiveness and minimizing disruptions to daily life, our clinics ensure a supportive environment by making sure everyone gets the dedicated, personalized chemotherapy treatment they deserve without having to leave the Virgin Islands.

Immunotherapy Treatment

Immunotherapy is a treatment we offer at both our Virgin Islands clinics that works by enhancing your immune system's ability to recognize and attack cancer cells more effectively.

Cancer can be sneaky. While our immune systems are incredibly smart, some cancer cells can trick them by looking similar enough to healthy cells that they're unrecognized as invaders. Other cancer cells produce substances that limit the immune system's ability to prevent tumor growth.

What immunotherapy does — often in conjunction with other treatments like chemotherapy — is introduce new antibodies that mimic your immune system's attack cells, boosting their strength and limiting development of tumor tissue. 

We offer outpatient immunotherapy treatment in the U.S. Virgin Islands, working out of our two Caribbean clinics: one on St. Thomas and another on St. Croix. When you work with our team you’ll get personalized, 1-on-1 care that takes your unique experience, symptoms and needs in mind so that you can fight with both dignity and comfort.
