The West Clinic

What The West Clinic does

The West Clinic, legally operating as West Cancer Center & Research Institute, is a private, physician-partnership-governed adult oncology practice founded in 1980 and headquartered in Germantown (Memphis), Tennessee. The organization provides comprehensive multi-disciplinary cancer care across 11 clinical campuses spanning Tennessee, Mississippi, and Arkansas, delivered by 103 or more oncology and hematology specialists and approximately 190 total employees. Service lines include medical oncology, radiation oncology, surgical oncology, pathology, radiology, infusion/chemotherapy, pharmacy, genetic counseling, palliative care, and supportive services, supplemented by a clinical trials program affiliated with the OneOncology network and the OneR research platform.

The practice operates a portfolio of advanced and often first-in-region treatment technologies, including GammaTile Surgically Targeted Radiation Therapy for brain tumors (one of 35 ELITE centers in the U.S.), MRI-guided brachytherapy for cervical cancer, PSMA PET/CT imaging for prostate cancer, ProSense cryoablation for early-stage breast cancer, and Proto Hologram-based virtual visits (the first physician practice in the U.S. to deploy this). Diagnostic and interventional capabilities are supported by on-site pathology, advanced imaging, and an internal molecular tumor board for precision-medicine treatment planning. The organization has been referenced in 1,000 or more peer-reviewed publications and reported serving more than 51,000 patients in 2021.

The business model is a fee-for-service clinical care model generating revenue through insurance billing and patient payments across medical, radiation, and surgical oncology services. Go-to-market is sales-led and referral-driven: primary care and specialist physicians refer patients via fax, phone, or online referral forms; patients may also self-schedule via phone or the CareSpace patient portal. Revenue is concentrated in the Mid-South region, with operational partnerships such as Saint Francis Healthcare and Regional One Health extending hospital-based and urgent care access.

Broad incumbents

• Moffitt Cancer Center: National Cancer Institute-designated specialty cancer center with extensive clinical trials and precision-medicine programs including molecular tumor boards. Comparable in research leadership and advanced oncology technology adoption, though operating as an academic specialty hospital rather than a community practice.
• The US Oncology Network: National network of independent community oncology practices (McKesson subsidiary) offering practice management, technology, and clinical-trial infrastructure. Comparable physician-led, multi-site community oncology model at much greater scale; provides an alternative affiliation path to OneOncology.
• City of Hope (formerly Cancer Treatment Centers of America): National specialty cancer-care system with community oncology sites, clinical research, and advanced treatment technologies including GammaTile and cryoablation programs. Comparable breadth of advanced oncology modalities; broader geographic and academic footprint.

Direct peers

• Sarah Cannon Research Institute: Community-based oncology research network (HCA Healthcare affiliate) conducting early-phase clinical trials in outpatient settings. Comparable emphasis on clinical-trial access as a community oncology differentiator and a frequent OneOncology/flatiron-style data partner.
• Arizona Oncology: Community oncology practice affiliated with The US Oncology Network, providing multi-specialty cancer care, infusion, and clinical trials across Arizona. Comparable specialty mix, scale, and physician-partnership model.
• Florida Cancer Specialists & Research Institute: Large private community oncology practice and OneOncology affiliate operating across Florida with medical oncology, radiation oncology, in-office infusion, and a robust clinical research program. Closest large-scale analog to West's model of multi-campus outpatient oncology with embedded trials.
• Tennessee Oncology: Largest independent community oncology practice in Tennessee and a fellow OneOncology affiliate. Operates multi-specialty medical, radiation, and gynecologic oncology across the state with a similar integrated clinical-trial program. Direct comparability on footprint, business model, and partnership network.

• New York Oncology Hematology (US Oncology Network): Independent community oncology practice affiliated with The US Oncology Network, providing multi-specialty cancer care, infusion, and clinical trials in the Albany/Capital Region. Comparable specialty mix and physician-partnership governance to West.
