Frequently Asked Questions
What does remission mean?
Remission means that cancer signs and symptoms have reduced significantly or are undetectable on testing. Complete remission means no cancer can be detected. Remission does not always mean cure, and follow-up monitoring continues to detect any recurrence early.
What should I bring to my first oncology appointment?
Bring all relevant biopsy reports, imaging studies, surgical records, and a list of current medications. If you have seen other providers for your diagnosis, bringing those records helps the oncologist understand the full clinical picture before recommending a treatment approach.
What is the difference between chemotherapy and immunotherapy?
Chemotherapy uses cytotoxic drugs to kill rapidly dividing cells, including cancer cells. Immunotherapy works by stimulating or directing the patient's own immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells. Some patients receive one, the other, or a combination depending on the cancer type.
