Memorial Medical Center Medical Oncology

Chemotherapy may loom in your mind as a frightening prospect. But medical oncology—the use of medicines to treat cancer—now offers new, precise and personalized treatments, including immunotherapy and targeted therapy, helping your chances for a successful outcome.

Medicines to Treat Cancer

If you’re diagnosed with cancer, you may feel worried and afraid—partly by the thought of undergoing chemotherapy or other uncomfortable drug therapies. But recent advancements have taken medical oncology to a whole new level. In the Sutter Health network, cancer care teams offer education and support, as well as guidance on new, precision medicine options. We work closely with you and your cancer specialists to minimize or eliminate any side effects you may experience during treatment.

IV drip

A medical oncologist, a doctor who specializes in treating cancer with medicine, heads up your cancer team. The Sutter Health network includes more than 130 medical oncology experts who work together with other specialists to diagnose, evaluate and treat cancer.

In addition to prescribing medications, your medical oncologist coordinates and oversees your medical care from the moment of diagnosis through survivorship by:

  • Educating you and your family about your cancer and its stages of development.
  • Discussing treatment options and making recommendations.
  • Monitoring your treatment throughout the course of the disease.
  • Staying abreast of emerging and challenging therapies.
  • Directing you to promising clinical trials.
  • Working with you to improve your quality of life through healing therapies and pain or symptom management.

Where You’ll Receive Treatment

Chemotherapy and other oncology treatments are usually delivered at one of Sutter’s seven medical oncology clinics, staffed by certified oncology-trained nurses. You’ll receive treatment and then return to the comfort of your home. When needed, you may stay in one of our hospitals to be monitored during treatment.

Or you may access our home care services. Sutter Care at Home has earned the HomeCare Elite® Top Agency award for being one of the best home care providers in the nation.
