Medical Oncologist
Published: Friday, March 09, 2007
Medical oncologists work with you when the recommended treatment for your cancer is chemotherapy or hormone therapy (systemic therapy). Chemotherapy and hormone therapy use drugs to destroy cancer cells. You may take these drugs by mouth, or may have them injected through a vein in your arm. A medical oncologist will discuss your treatment with you and will recommend a treatment program, however, the actual treatment will be carried out by a number of other health care professionals.
