Oncology Patient Information
Welcome to the Hematology and Oncology Departments of DuPage Medical Group.
You’ve come to the right place where you’ll find warm and caring professionals
providing compassionate and comprehensive healthcare. Your comfort is most
important, so please don’t hesitate to ask us any questions or share any concerns.
Our care for you begins with a customized treatment plan that takes into consideration
your particular cancer as well as other factors such as age and health history. Often
your care may involve other medical specialists. For example, specialists in spinal
surgery, pulmonary medicine, psychology, pain medicine, surgery, gastroenterology
and urology routinely treat our patients. We also work closely with our pain medicine
physicians, providing comfort when it is needed most. Our role is to coordinate
your care with these specialists so that you can get the treatments and services you
need to fight this battle. We guide you through the process, monitor your progress
and discuss your options—keeping you informed every step of the way.
As oncologists and hematologists, we
understand the impact cancer has on the
lives of our patients and their families.
We understand that with cancer comes grief, fear and uncertainty.
But as cancer doctors, we also know that there is one more emotion
that comes into play—HOPE. Cancer diagnosis may be challenging,
but it can be overcome. Every day, we see patients who have won
the battle against cancer. And with advanced diagnosis, modern
technologies and promising medications, the future is looking even
brighter and that’s a reason to hope.
Working Together
In the battle against cancer, promising medications, new treatment regimens
and advanced technologies are bringing realistic hope to so many. Our
physicians are at the forefront of these new developments, embracing
diagnostic technologies that help them identify cancers in the early stages,
as well as utilizing progressive new treatments and the latest medications
to help them fight cancer.
Our team works together with other departments and institutions. By
working closely with our Clinical Research Department, we have access
to clinical trials which can bring tomorrow’s promising medications to
patients today. As part of DuPage Medical Group, we have affiliations
with the area’s leading hospitals giving patients convenient access to the
finest healthcare facilities. Lastly, we have an affiliation with the University
of Chicago Hospital so that we can offer patients progressive treatment
options and access to additional clinical trials.
