What Does an Oncologist-Hematologist Do? A Patient’s Guide
In this episode Dr. Patrick Moore, MD (oncologist and hematologist, Riverside Cancer Institute) explains the difference between oncology and hematology, what common conditions we treat, and why early detection matters. Learn how cancer screening, blood tests (CBC), and routine primary care visits can catch problems early so treatment — from surgery to chemotherapy and targeted therapy — can be most effective. Friendly, clear guidance for patients and families navigating cancer care.
