Frequently Asked Questions

What does a Medical Oncology oncologist do?

A Medical Oncology oncologist is a Oncology physician with focused training in the systemic treatment of cancer with chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, and hormonal therapy. After completing Oncology residency, they pursue additional fellowship training so they can manage cases that fall outside what a general oncologist typically handles day to day.

What conditions does a Medical Oncology oncologist treat?

A Medical Oncology oncologist commonly treats breast cancer, colorectal cancer, lung cancer, lymphomas, melanoma, and pancreatic cancer. Many also see closely related conditions within Oncology, particularly when a case is complex, atypical, or has not responded to first-line care from a general oncologist.

When should I see a Medical Oncology oncologist?

Consider seeing a Medical Oncology oncologist when you have a new cancer diagnosis or your treatment plan involves systemic therapy, when a primary care clinician or general oncologist suggests a focused evaluation, or when you want a second opinion from a physician whose practice is concentrated on this exact area. Patients often reach a Medical Oncology oncologist through referral, but you can also seek one directly.

How is a Medical Oncology oncologist different from a general oncologist?

Both are board-eligible oncologists, but a Medical Oncology oncologist has additional fellowship training and a practice that focuses on the systemic treatment of cancer with chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, and hormonal therapy. General oncologists treat a broad range of Oncology concerns; Medical Oncology oncologists concentrate on the harder or more specific cases within that range, and tend to see a higher volume of patients with breast cancer, colorectal cancer, lung cancer, lymphomas, melanoma, and pancreatic cancer.
