Cancer comes in many forms. Our experts recognize and treat cancer and other benign or malignant tumors. To fight cancer, medical oncologists use chemotherapy, a special medicine given in different forms (for example, catheter, intramuscular, intrathecal, intravenous or oral). They also work with surgeons and other professionals on other cancer treatments. |
