Oncology Specialists Chicago-Area Cancer Treatment Centers
Oncology Specialists, S.C. provides exceptional care for patients from across Illinois and beyond. We are unlike other medical oncology practices because we specialize not just in cancer therapy, but have additional expertise in treating specific types of cancer.
Our Chicago-area cancer treatment centers are located on the campuses of Lutheran General Hospital and Rush North Shore Medical Center, and at the Oak Mill Center in Niles. Our physicians, individually and in small groups, focus on cancer care in areas such as breast cancer, prostate cancer, lung cancer, colon cancer, head and neck cancer, gynecological cancer, and unusual and difficult diseases such as melanoma, sarcoma, and lymphoma. This allows us to provide cancer care that is exceptional.
Recent News - Oncology Specialists
Oncology Specialists now provides "take-home" pharmacy services for our chemotherapy patients. We offer a variety of commonly used chemotherapy and supportive care drugs for self-administration. Insurance, particularly where prescriptions are concerned, can be complex. To help you understand the financial impact of your treatment, we will compare the cost to you of oral and self-injectable drugs, where available, with the cost of receiving your drugs in our outpatient clinic. Ask your chemotherapy nurse or your doctor for more information.
Our Anti-Coagulation and Thrombosis Center (ATC) at the Park Ridge Office provides a convenient and reliable service to patients who require careful monitoring of their anticoagulation medications. The center provides an immediate measurement, so that an assessment of any required adjustment in dosage can be provided instantly. New patients are seen at the ATC on Wednesday mornings. Have your physician call 847-268-8594 to arrange an initial appointment for you. Follow-up visits may be scheduled for any weekday morning.
