Our Specialty . . .
Our physicians are specialists in the treatment and prevention
of cancer and blood disorders.
Medical Oncology is the field of medicine which specializes
in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. Cancer is treated
in numerous ways: chemotherapy; immunotherapy; surgery; radiation
therapy;
along with new therapies that are continuously evolving. Our
physicians are experts in prescribing
and the supervision of chemotherapy and immunotherapy administration.
Chemotherapy or biological
therapy is defined as any medication which is given either by
mouth, injection or intravenously to kill
or stop the formation of cancer cells. Hematology is the
field of medicine which specializes in blood
disorders. These problems include the leukemias, anemias, bleeding
disorders, excessive clotting of the
blood and others. Each patient is unique in their age,
medical history, and family history – all factors
that must be taken into consideration when treatment options
are explored by your physician.
All your questions are important and deserve
an answer. Write down your questions and bring them with
you to your appointment; we can then gather information that
will help you research your disease, learn more about treatment
options, assemble nutritional information, and identify
reliable resources for current information about the treatment
and cure of cancer.
