Find a Doctor 

At Sentara, you never fight cancer alone. You’re always backed up by a comprehensive team working together for your best possible outcome.

Sentara Cancer Network experts from around the region collaborate to determine the best treatment options based on experience, best practices, and each patient’s unique needs. 

In addition to being board-certified, many of our physicians are sub-specialists, meaning they have at least one year, and in some cases many years, of additional fellowship training aimed at increasing their expertise in a specific field.

Types of Cancer Specialists

Cancer is primarily treated in three ways: with medicine, with radiation and with surgery. Your team of cancer physicians may include:

Medical oncologist
Radiation oncologist
Surgical oncologists
Other specialists
