Receiving Cancer Treatment In Your Home
Cancer Therapy in Pill FormRecent advances in technology have led to the development of oral anti-cancer medications, or “oral oncolytics.” These new agents target specific biologic processes in tumor cells. Oral oncolytics provide patients a convenient way to receive therapy in your home, without coming to the clinic for an infusion. Cancer therapy in pill form is great news for patients as it allows you more involvement and control over your treatment.
The Cancer Center of Kansas Oral Medication Center, located at our main office in Wichita, dispenses oral oncolytics and supportive medicines, such as antiemetics and antibiotics, which are a part of your treatment. Unlike your local pharmacy, our Oral Medication Center dispenses only to our patients. The first time you receive a newly-prescribed drug from our dispensary, a nursing professional will discuss with you how and when to take the drug, and side effect management. You will be given an opportunity to ask questions and receive clarification of anything you do not understand. If your prescription comes with refills, these requests can be made simply with a quick phone call to our office or through the MyCarePlus patient portal. Please note we do not provide prescription refills of any kind on the weekend.
