Telling someone that they have cancer is never easy. What helps ease the pain and anxiety is when the diagnosis comes with answers, solutions, and hope.
Dr. Jeffrey Margolis, a board-certified medical oncologist with Oakland Medical Group and Michigan Healthcare Professionals, has delivered difficult news many times over his 25 years in oncology. What has changed, he says, is the growing number of positive solutions now available.
“In the past, we focused on giving patients more time,” he explains. “Today, we aim for meaningful cures that let people get back to their lives. We identify very specific cancers, each with targeted treatments, and it’s making a huge difference.”
Precision Medicine
At Michigan Healthcare Professionals, Dr. Margolis uses genetic and molecular testing on every tumor. Instead of labeling a patient with “lung cancer,” for example, his team looks for driver mutations and matches therapies to them. “Treatments are no longer generic — they’re tumor-specifi c and personalized,” he says.
Whole-Patient Focus
Beyond treatment, the practice offers Cold Cap/Scalp Cooling Systems to help preserve hair during some chemotherapy. When fertility preservation is important, options are discussed early, ensuring patients’ long-term goals remain part of their care plan.
A Collaborative Approach
As part of Michigan’s largest private oncology practice, Dr. Margolis works alongside specialists in medical, surgical, and radiation oncology. Recently, the Royal Oak offi ce moved into a new, state-of-the-art suite at the Rose Cancer Center, designed for comfort and expanded capacity to better serve the community.
Dr. Margolis remains at the forefront of cancer research and treatment, committed to delivering cutting-edge, compassionate, and personalized care for every patient.
