When to See a Surgeon for Oncology Related Surgery?
Your primary care physician or your medical oncologist, a physician who specializes in treating cancer with drugs and oversees all aspects of your cancer care, may refer you to a Tenet Florida Physician Services surgeon that specializes in cancer related surgery. Treatment plans may include radiation and/or chemotherapy in addition to surgery. Because cancer surgery is typically complex, many oncology surgery doctors specialize in management of one or two types of cancer. You also may see a radiation oncologist if your care includes radiation treatment. Regardless of your case, the Tenet Florida Physician Services surgical oncology team helps provide options for your cancer care so that you have the best outcome.Oncology Surgery Team
