Medical Oncology
Medical Oncology
Cancer is complex. Its treatment often requires a mix of therapies — medical, radiation, and surgical — along with lifestyle changes. Our Medical Oncologist offers this combined approach to cancer treatment all in one location.
Medical Oncology Treatment Options
Based on your type and stage of cancer, your medical oncologist may suggest one or a few of these options:
- Chemotherapy uses drugs to kill cancer cells or keep them from spreading.
- Immunotherapy, also called biotherapy, uses biologic agents to boost the immune system to
fight cancer cells. - Hormone therapy uses drugs to block improper activity of certain hormones.
- Targeted therapy uses drugs to interact with cancer cells by targeting the molecules involved in
cancer growth or spread.
We will tailor your medical oncology treatment program to your disease, general health, and unique goals.
