Oncology

Medical oncology involves the use of chemical agents to stop the growth of cancer cells. This specialty focuses on diagnosing and treating cancer using chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, biological therapy and targeted therapy. This specialist is often the main health care provider for someone who has cancer. They also give supportive care and may coordinate treatment given by other specialists. In coordination with a patient’s primary care physician, the highly-trained hematology oncology specialists at Trinity Health IHA Medical Group will diagnose and recommend the most appropriate treatment and provide personalized, high-quality medical services to every patient.
