Why Texas Oncology?

Today's high demands for convenience and service have extended to healthcare, driving the surge of many new neighborhood clinics and small, outlying hospitals. For cancer patients, the need for community-based services is amplified due to their intense cancer treatment regimens, often taking most of their time and energy.

More than 80 percent of all cancer treatment is now delivered at the community level. This evolving trend dictates a new model for the delivery of cancer care. To meet the needs of their patients, more community-based clinics are offering advanced, comprehensive cancer care previously offered only in the largest metropolitan areas.

With more than 345 physicians and more than 135 sites of service, Texas Oncology is a pioneer in community-based cancer treatment with sites of service throughout Texas and southeastern Oklahoma. With Texas Oncology's comprehensive, community-based cancer treatments, patients can:
