The world of cancer research and treatments can be overwhelming. The medical oncology team at Cochise Oncology is devoted to giving each patient the information, support, and personalized care they need on their treatment journey.
What is Medical Oncology?
Medical oncology is a branch of medicine that focuses on diagnosing, treating, and managing cancer using non-surgical methods. Medical oncologists use chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, hormonal therapy, and other systemic treatments to fight cancer. They work closely with surgeons, radiation oncologists, and pathologists to develop individualized treatment plans for their patients.
Medical oncologists also play a critical role in managing the side effects of cancer treatments, providing supportive care, and helping patients navigate the complex emotional and psychological challenges that often accompany a cancer diagnosis.Â
