A medical oncologist treats cancer using medicines such as chemotherapy, hormone therapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy, and coordinates care with surgical and radiation oncologists.

Yes. Modern chemotherapy in India is safer, more targeted, and better tolerated due to advanced drugs, supportive medicines, and close monitoring—reducing side effects significantly.

You should consult a medical oncologist as soon as cancer is suspected or diagnosed, or if surgery or radiation is advised along with medicines for better outcomes.
