Community Oncology

Community oncology refers to cancer care that is provided in local settings, such as community hospitals or outpatient clinics, rather than large academic centers. It aims to make cancer treatment more accessible by offering services close to home, allowing patients to receive care from familiar healthcare teams. Community oncologists are trained to diagnose and manage various cancers, coordinating with specialists as needed. This approach emphasizes personalized care, patient support, and involvement in clinical trials, ensuring that patients have the best possible treatment while maintaining their everyday lives.
