What does a medical oncologist do?

A medical oncologist specializes in diagnosing and treating cancer using chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, and hormone therapy. They manage treatment plans, monitor progress, and provide long-term care and support.

When should I see a medical oncologist?

You should consult a medical oncologist after a cancer diagnosis or if you're experiencing persistent symptoms like unexplained weight loss, fatigue, lumps, or unusual bleeding. Early consultation improves outcomes.

How is medical oncology different from surgical or radiation oncology?

Medical oncologists use medications to treat cancer, while surgical oncologists remove tumors, and radiation oncologists treat cancer using high-energy radiation. All three often work together for comprehensive care.

What types of cancer does a medical oncologist treat?

Medical oncologists treat most types of solid tumors and blood cancers, including breast, lung, colon, prostate, ovarian, and leukemia, among others.

Will I need chemotherapy if I see a medical oncologist?

Not necessarily. Your treatment depends on your cancer type, stage, and overall health. Options may include targeted therapy, immunotherapy, or hormone therapy — not just chemotherapy.

Can I get a second opinion from a medical oncologist?

Yes. Seeking a second opinion is common and helps patients make informed decisions. A medical oncologist can confirm a diagnosis or offer alternative treatment options.
