Providing Resources for World-Class Care
To ensure that your care is world-class, we are involved in nearly every aspect of cancer care. When a doctor in your community is part of The US Oncology Network, he or she has access to all the resources of a major cancer institution, including:
Physician Collaboration
When oncologists collaborate to fight cancer, patients benefit. Physicians in The US Oncology Network have access to a Web-based system — The Oncology Portal — allowing them to tap into the collective knowledge of their colleagues. This portal helps physicians confer with doctors and other cancer care experts on challenging and rare patient cases, sharing best practices for patient care and learning about the newest treatments. This kind of collaboration — all across America — means a second opinion is virtually built-in for each patient.
Proven Treatment Plans Physicians in The Network have created national disease committees to review the latest scientific discoveries and research to develop evidence-based treatment guidelines for use in treating patients nationwide. These
proven treatment plans mean that our affiliated physicians have scientifically verified guidelines for the most effective treatments for specific diseases.
Access to Clinical Trials Research into new treatments improves cancer care for all patients. With more than 225 active clinical trials on going at any time, The US Oncology Network physicians can participate in ground-breaking clinical research in the communities where they practice. Through our research, we’ve helped more than 53,000 patients access over 1,200 clinical trials and have contributed to the development of 43 cancer-fighting drugs approved by the FDA. Find out what
research can mean to you.
Cancer Drug Management The US Oncology Network receives cancer-fighting drugs from a state-of-the-art, VAWD-accredited drug distribution system managed by McKesson Specialty Health. We’re
committed to maintaining the safety and authenticity of the cancer drugs we provide. Physicians in The Network also have the option to recommend that their patients use OncologyRx Care Advantage™ to get their oral cancer-fighting medications. Care Advantage is a national specialty pharmacy focused on providing cancer medications and helping patients understand how to take them.
Keeping Care Close to Home We are committed to giving patients access to the highest-quality, most advanced care close to home. Our approximately 350 practice locations in The Network and more than 75 comprehensive cancer centers nationwide mean you can stay near your family and friends and keep your daily routine throughout your treatment process.
Having cancer can turn your world upside down. You shouldn’t have to leave your world behind just to receive high-quality care.
