There are typically three primary types of doctors in cancer care: medical, radiation or surgical oncologists. Working alongside these physicians, you’ll find a skilled team of physician assistants, nurse practitioners, therapists, nurses, dosimetrists, medical social workers, physicists, dietitians and hospital chaplains plus other care team members – each providing uncompromising care, individualized for each patient.
Medical oncologists specialize in diagnosing and treating cancer using chemotherapy, hormonal therapy and biological therapy. A medical oncologist often is the main health care provider for someone who has cancer. A medical oncologist also gives supportive care and may coordinate treatment given by other specialists. The medical oncologist educates patients about their illness and the treatments options. They explain the details of chemotherapy regimens, potential side effects and any long-term ill effect that any medicine may have.
Radiation oncologists are the doctors who will oversee your radiation therapy treatments. They work with the other members of the radiation therapy team to develop your treatment plan and ensure that each treatment is given accurately. Your radiation oncologist will also monitor your progress and adjust the treatment as necessary to make sure the radiation is hitting its target while minimizing side effects. Before, during and after your radiation therapy treatments, your radiation oncologist works closely with other cancer doctors, such as medical oncologists and surgeons, to maximize the radiation’s effectiveness.
Surgical oncologists are general surgeons with specialized training in procedures for diagnosing, staging or removing cancerous growths. Their area of focus can be specific to a single type of cancer diagnosis, such as breast, lung, colon, brain or other – or they may be trained to remove many types of cancers that may require surgery.
Our cancer program is accredited by the Commission on Cancer, the American College of Radiology and the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers. We are also members of the Association of Community Cancer Centers.
In addition to our cancer resource centers, if you are looking for a support group, class or workshop, or would like to watch a seminar from one of our cancer providers, there are a variety of resources available.
