With Texas Oncology's community-based services, patients have the convenience of receiving most or all of their medical services and support services under one roof, in the comfort of their own communities.
Texas Oncology medical teams specialize in medical oncology, hematology, gynecologic oncology, pediatric hematology and oncology, and radiation oncology. Patients are treated with today's most advanced, effective cancer technologies, therapies, cancer treatments and full-service pharmacies. This large oncology network also gives patients access to nationwide cancer research and clinical trials of promising new drugs and treatments.
Texas Oncology physicians are supported by talented and professional associates who are sensitive to the needs of cancer patients and their caregivers. Most cancer centers provide a wide range of supportive services and programs to address patients' individual psychological and emotional needs - such as counseling, support groups, educational programs and nutritional guidance.
