Treatment

 

 

We at the Women's Oncology & Wellness Practice take a comprehensive approach to caring for the woman with cancer. Treatment in our practice is multifaceted and may include chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, biologic agents or participation on a clinical trial. We work closely with other specialists including radiologists, surgeons, radiation oncologists, psychotherapists, social workers, nutritionists and complementary medical providers.

Care means more than administering medication or prescribing drugs. Our goal is to tend to all of the needs of the woman going through the cancer experience. We focus on the entire woman, not just her diagnosis. Wellness after a cancer diagnosis encompasses psychosocial and sexual health, good diet and exercise programs, and integrating back into a creative and productive family, community, and work life.The Women's Oncology & Wellness Practice has facilities for administration of chemotherapy, hormonal therapy and biologic agents in a private, intimate setting. Women undergoing treatment receive one-on-one, personalized attention. Your treatment plan is individualized in a shared decision-making process. Your care is coordinated by our experienced nursing and administrative staff. Dr. Oratz and the nurses are available, accessible and in close contact, both during therapy and when you go home.Learn more about chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, biologic agents and the management of side effects from these excellent resources.
