Medical Oncologists

Medical oncologists specialize in diagnosing and treating cancer using chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, and biological therapy. A medical oncologist often is the main health care provider for someone who has cancer. A medical oncologist also gives supportive care and may coordinate treatment given by other specialists.

The medical oncologist educates patients about their illness and the treatments options. He has to explain the details of chemotherapy regimens, potential side effects and any long-term ill effect that any medicine may have.
