Any Oncologist who tells you that that there is not enough evidence proving the effectiveness of radioimmunotherapy needs to be your EX-Oncologist. If you compare it to multiple rounds of a salvage treatment like RICE which involves multiple-day infusions and neupogen support RIT is not that expensive, and it's a whole lot easier to tolerate. This stuff is great!

There are both pediatric and surgical oncology specialists. The surgical oncologist would be considered the 'tool' of the primary pediatric or adult oncologist . . they often work in tandem together to treat a patient. Thus, the patient has a primary oncologist who co-ordinates all the treatment and health care needs of the patient. Which may include contacting specialists for radiation treatment or for surgery. The primary oncologist orders the chemotherapy, determines treatment options, and consults with a radiology oncologist and a surgical oncologist about radiation and/or surgery.
