Medical Oncology

Medical Oncology refers to the treatment of cancer with medicines, as opposed to surgery or radiation. In some situations, these medicines are used in conjunction with surgery and radiation therapy. Medical Oncology services provide chemotherapy treatment, immunotherapy, and treatment for blood disorders.

The Center for Cancer Care at Exeter Hospital is proud to have a relationship with New Hampshire Oncology-Hematology PA for the provision of Medical Oncology services to our patients. This outstanding group of physicians is consistently rated among the top cancer doctors in the state and also has an affiliation with Dana Farber Cancer Institute. As a patient of Exeter Hospital, the physicians meet individually with each patient to discuss their diagnosis and an appropriate course of treatment. Following the physician visit, the patient will participate in educational sessions with the oncology nurse, pharmacist, and social worker prior to the initiation of treatment. During treatment, the patient can relax in our comfortable infusion area where nurses and assistants are available to administer their medications and address their needs.


Radiation Oncologist

Radiation oncologists oversee the care of each cancer patient undergoing radiation treatment. They develop and prescribe the patient's treatment plan and make sure that every treatment is accurately given. In addition, radiation oncologists help identify and treat any side effects of radiation therapy. They work closely with other physicians and all members of the radiation oncology team.

Our unique and exclusive regional relationship with the Massachusetts General Hospital’s Cancer Center brings radiation oncologists from the world’s leading academic medical center to Exeter Hospital’s Center for Cancer Care. This affiliation allows us to offer state of the art radiation therapy services in our community.
