What a medical oncologist does
A medical oncologist decides whether you need chemotherapy or other cancer medicines. In head and neck cancer, chemotherapy is often given alongside radiotherapy, because it makes the radiation work better.
They check your blood counts, adjust doses, and treat side effects like nausea and low energy.
