- Primary CareInsurance plans offer lists of in-network physicians for individuals to consider, however it is often very beneficial to speak to your primary care doctor, as well as friends and family, who can offer referrals to physicians in the area. You may also want to call your local hospital to ask for a list of doctors specializing in cancer care who practice at that hospital. Many online resources exist to help individuals locate oncologists in their area. The American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), for example, hosts a searchable database that includes more than 30,000 oncologists, listing their affiliations, specialties, and contact information. The American Medical Association (AMA) also provides a database called DoctorFinder, allowing users to search for licensed physicians in the United States by name or medical specialty. Web-based searches, or looking at advertisements in the telephone book or yellow pages may also help you in locating doctors.

- Lung CancerMost cancers are named for the type of cell or organ in which they begin. When cancer spreads, the new tumor has the same kind of abnormal cells and the same name as the primary tumor. For example, if lung cancer spreads to the liver, the cancer cells in the liver are still lung cancer cells (not liver cancer). The disease is called metastatic lung cancer.

- ChemotherapyChemotherapy involves the administration of special drugs to kill cancer cells. These drugs work by stopping the growth of cancer cells at one or more points their life cycle. Chemotherapy, in general, is considered systemic therapy, since the drugs flow through the bloodstream to the entire body. These drugs can be given by mouth (orally), or, in most cases, directly into the bloodstream through a vein (intravenously). Occasionally, chemotherapy can be directed into a particular fluid or body cavity, to localize the treatment for a specific type of cancer.
- Radiation TherapyThis is also called radiotherapy, and utilizes high-energy beams to damage cancer cells and stop them from growing. Like surgery, radiation is a local therapy – it can only affect cancer cells in a treated area. Radiation can be delivered from a machine (external beam radiation), or from implantation of a radioactive material, placed directly into or near the tumor. Some patients receive both kinds of radiation. Your Columbus Oncology & Hematology doctor works closely with a physician specially trained in the delivery of radiation therapy for cancer (Radiation Oncologist) to ensure that you receive appropriate care.
