Division Overview

The Division of Medical Oncology’s mission is to provide cutting-edge, compassionate care to those suffering from solid tumor malignancies through Team Science. Team Science is a philosophical approach that integrates scientific discoveries into the care given to patients. As a national leader, we bring 21st century innovative therapies, including cell therapy, molecular diagnostic and therapeutic approaches, and immunotherapy advances to our cancer patients. Because there are no routine cancers, all our clinicians are subspecialized. We work in tumor-specific multidisciplinary teams with surgical, radiation and subspecialty departments to determine the optimal care and to offer participation to the most promising clinical trials.

The care we provide is highly coordinated through our subspecialty clinics at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center - Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC-James). The Division of Medical Oncology translates the newest cancer research findings by clinical and basic scientists working together to transform patient care and offer realistic hope for cures. Participation in clinical trials at the OSUCCC-James has led to multiple FDA- approved new standards of care for the treatment of various cancers.

Solove Research Institute expanded in December 2014 to become the 3rd largest cancer hospital in the U.S.  The extraordinary success of this new 398-bed state-of-the-art hospital has resulted in remarkable clinical growth and has created several opportunities for medical oncologists across the spectrum of solid tumor subspecialties.
