What do Medical Oncology Physicians do?
Medical oncology physicians diagnose and treat cancer using non-surgical, drug-based therapies such as chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, and hormone therapy.
They coordinate a patient’s overall cancer care, work with other specialists, such as surgical and radiation oncologists, manage treatment side effects, and provide long-term follow-up care.
What they do
Engage in Research: Many medical oncologists participate in clinical trials and research to advance cancer treatment options.
Diagnose Cancer: They assess a patient’s condition, often reviewing test results to make a diagnosis.
Develop Treatment Plans: Medical oncologists create and oversee comprehensive cancer treatment plans tailored to the individual patient.
Administer Medications: They prescribe and administer systemic therapies, which are drugs that work throughout the body. These include:
Chemotherapy: Uses drugs to kill cancer cells.
Immunotherapy: Helps the patient’s own immune system fight cancer.
Targeted Therapy: Focuses on specific molecular targets in cancer cells.
Hormone Therapy: Uses hormones to slow or stop the growth of hormone-sensitive cancers.
Coordinate Care: They often serve as the leading healthcare provider for a patient with cancer, coordinating treatment with other specialists, such as surgeons and radiation oncologists.
Manage Side Effects: Medical oncologists closely monitor patients for treatment-related side effects and help manage them effectively.
Provide Supportive and Follow-Up Care: They offer supportive care throughout the cancer journey, including care after treatment is completed.
