About Us

Our Mission

We strive to:

  • Promote the highest professional standards of oncology in the State of Illinois;
  • Study, research, and exchange information, experiences, and ideas leading to improvement in oncology;
  • Identify and improve oncology practice issues that adversely affect patient access to cancer care;
  • Act as a patient advocate to assure that patients have access to the best available care; and
  • Support and encourage clinical research against cancer.

Our goals

  • Affect legislation and public policy relative to patient access to cancer care;
  • Act as a resource on the "accepted medical practices" associated with cancer care;
  • Provide a forum for education of our members on current technologies and their role as accepted medical practices;
  • Provide communications to our members and others on issues affecting patient access to cancer care and the practice of oncology.
