Medical Oncology (Chemotherapy)
Medical oncology is the treatment of cancer with chemotherapy, intravenous or pills that interfere with the growth of cancer cells.
In the outpatient medical oncology treatment area, we recognize the diagnosis and treatment of cancer have a tremendous physical and emotional impact on the patient and family. Our goal is to provide emotional support and guidance for people with cancer, and their family members. We assist those with cancer at all stages of their illness and help family and friends cope with cancer.
Our peaceful surroundings during chemotherapy treatment are very important in maintaining a positive attitude. The cancer center provides a comfortable environment with a choice of settings for receiving chemotherapy treatment. The design allows respect for the dignity of each patient, and family members to participate in the decision-making; treatment choices and offering supportive care.
