Community Oncology

Diagnosis and Screening: Community oncologists are often involved in the initial diagnosis of cancer through various diagnostic tests and screenings. Early detection is crucial for better treatment outcomes.

Treatment Planning and Administration: Community oncologists collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to develop personalized treatment plans for cancer patients. They may administer various treatments such as chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, and targeted therapy.

Supportive Care: In addition to medical treatments, community oncologists address the supportive care needs of cancer patients, including managing symptoms, providing psychological support, and coordinating with other healthcare professionals.
