Medical Oncology

Oncology is a branch of medicine which specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of cancers. Medical oncology (MO) refers to the treatment of cancer through the use of chemotherapy, hormone therapy, targeted therapy, biological therapy, and other systemic treatments.

A Medical Oncologist is a specialist health care provider for cancer patients, and he works with other oncologists such as his surgical oncology and radiation oncology colleagues to treat cancer patients.

They are also responsible for managing the symptoms, reducing the side effects of treatment and providing the supportive care required.

Our medical oncologist will work with other doctors to create a treatment plan that’s best for our patients. He will explain the cancer diagnosis to our patients, including the type and what stage they have.

He will also help them manage their cancer symptoms and treat the side effects.
