In most cases, it is a local treatment in that the cancer-fighting drugs are delivered to the targeted cancerous area. While some neighboring healthy cells may be affected, more healthy cells are preserved compared to chemotherapy treatments.

He or she has graduated from an accredited medical school and completed specialty training as an oncologist and/or hematologist, as well as additional sub-specialty training. Within the field of oncology, there are several sub-specialties, including gynecological oncology, medical oncology and pediatric oncology just to name a few.

There are specific instructions that are important to follow to ensure the effectiveness of your treatment. Discuss at-home treatment options with your oncologist. It is also important to verify with your insurance provider if you are eligible for at-home cancer treatment.

Can I still work during my treatment?
The type and stage of your cancer will determine how extensive and how often you will need to receive treatments. Many patients take time off from work during this time due to all of the side effects; however, some choose to continue working. Keep your oncologist informed of your plans for work so we can accommodate your scheduling needs and offer recommendations for balancing treatments with work. We will also discuss with you ways to manage the side effects of treatment to help you continue with your normal routine as easily as possible.
