Comprehensive Medical Oncology Care
At Salinas Valley Oncology, our medical oncologists are dedicated to providing comprehensive cancer treatment with a focus on personalized care. From chemotherapy and targeted therapy to immunotherapy, our experienced team offers advanced treatments tailored to each patient's unique needs.
Medical oncology is the branch of cancer care that treats cancer with medicines — including chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, and hormone therapy. For many patients, these systemic treatments are a cornerstone of their care, whether used alone or alongside surgery and radiation.
Modern Systemic Therapies
Cancer medicine has advanced remarkably. Targeted therapies attack specific molecular features of a tumor; immunotherapies help your own immune system recognize and fight cancer; and modern chemotherapy protocols are more effective and better tolerated than ever. The right regimen depends on your specific cancer type, its biology, and your overall health.
Coordinated With Your Whole Care Team
We work hand in hand with radiation oncology, surgery, pathology, and your primary care physician so that systemic treatment is sequenced correctly with the rest of your care and every specialist is working from the same plan.
Managing Treatment, Protecting Life
Throughout treatment we monitor labs, imaging, and how you are feeling, adjusting therapy and supportive care to keep you as strong and comfortable as possible.
