Because cancer is not one disease, but a term covering many distinct diseases, different types of treatments are required and no one treatment is right for everyone.

That's why Minnesota Oncology Hematology physicians customize a course of treatment to meet each individual's needs and condition. It's also why our staff includes specialists in medical oncology, hematology, gynecological oncology, and radiation oncology - all working together to treat the "whole patient," not just the disease. What's more, having physicians with related oncological specialties, we have more opportunities to integrate therapies that benefit the patient.

It's a team approach that includes everyone from physicians and nurses, to laboratory personnel, pharmacists, patient representatives, and supporting staff. And, of course, individual patients and their families.
