OHC’s team of medical oncologists are highly trained cancer doctors who specialize in treating people with cancer and blood disorders. They coordinate all immunotherapy, targeted therapy, chemotherapy, and hormonal therapy, and collaborate with a multidisciplinary team of cancer specialists involved in the personalized care of our patients.
Cancer patients represent some of the most challenging cases in medicine. At OHC, our doctors are highly experienced in the science of cancer treatment, and are equally skilled in their ability to compassionately support patients and families through this difficult disease.
Our cancer doctors work together to create the most optimal and personalized treatment plan for each patient based on their individual diagnosis. Based on your type and stage of cancer, your OHC medical oncologist may suggest one or more of these options:
- Targeted therapy drugs to attack cancer cells by targeting the molecules involved in cancer growth or spread
- Immunotherapy drugs to help your own immune system to fight cancer cells
- Chemotherapy drugs to kill cancer cells or keep them from spreading
- Hormone therapy drugs to block improper activity of certain hormones
- Radiation therapy to destroy or slow the growth of cancer cells
Your OHC medical oncologist will:
- Explain your cancer diagnosis and stage
- Develop, discuss, deliver, and coordinate all treatment options and a recommended personalized treatment plan of care
- Work with a multi-disciplinary care team who specializes in different areas of care
- Maintain your quality of life by managing pain and other symptoms or side effects
- Listen to your needs while delivering world-class quality and compassionate care
- Provide updates to your primary care doctor
OHC Clinical Trials
