A member asked:
Could a surgeon administer chemotheraphy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Surgical Oncologists frequently do but usually when the drug is given orally and easily purchased by prescription. When iV meds are needed the patient is usually kept in a special chair while the chemo is run slowly over a few hrs. Most surgical offices are not equipted to deliver drugs in this manner.
