Top 4 Chemotherapy For Cancer Doctors in Jordan 2026

When do you need this specialty or procedure?

Chemotherapy is a systemic cancer treatment given by oncology doctors. It acts on rapidly dividing cells throughout the body, usually through an intravenous line or as tablets, in cycles with rest periods so healthy tissue can recover. It is usually considered after a cancer has been suspected on a scan, a blood test or a physical examination and a tissue sample has confirmed the diagnosis.

Treatment is not chosen by the name of the disease alone. The tumour type, its grade and stage, the pathology result and molecular markers all matter, as do the patient's age and kidney, liver and heart function.

Book a visit with an oncology doctor if you have a lump or swelling that persists, unexplained weight loss, ongoing night sweats or fever, or a biopsy result that your doctor has referred for treatment planning. A second opinion before starting treatment is also a reasonable step.

Seek urgent help rather than waiting for a routine appointment if you have chest pain, difficulty breathing, bleeding that does not stop, sudden confusion, or vomiting that stops you keeping fluids down. In Jordan, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department. Tell the treating team the same day about any fever or chills during treatment.

How to choose among the doctors here

The four chemotherapy for cancer doctors in Jordan on this page are all listed under oncology, but their published services differ. Start with your diagnosis. Dr. Taher Abu Hejleh's services include lung cancer care and molecular test review. Dr. Alaa Addasi's profile focuses on lymphoma and survivorship. Dr. Bilal Hawari's services include radiation therapy alongside chemotherapy. Dr. Ra'id Marji lists initial evaluation, second opinions and hormonal treatment. Choose the profile whose published services match your situation.

Useful criteria to compare:

• Whether the cancer type you have appears in the published services.
• Whether a biopsy and any molecular or receptor tests are being reviewed, since these results can change the plan.
• The clinic district and hours, against your travel and work schedule.
• Whether your insurer is listed.
• Whether a consultation fee is published, and confirmed when you book.

Dr. Bilal Hawari's profile notes that the consultation address does not establish on-site radiotherapy equipment, so confirm where any treatment sessions take place.

The order on this page reflects profile completeness, not clinical quality. Use each listing as a starting point for questions, not as a judgement of who is better.

What to expect at the first visit

The usual pathway has five stages: confirming the diagnosis by biopsy and staging; discussing the plan, its aim, a second opinion and fertility; preparing for the first cycle; the treatment session and symptom control; and then assessing response and adjusting the plan. A first consultation may cover only the first stage or two, so do not expect a full treatment start on day one.

If you already have a plan from another doctor, say so at the start. Asking for a second opinion is a normal part of the process.

Bring:

• Biopsy and pathology reports, and any slide or tissue information the clinic requests.
• Imaging reports and scans, on disc or as copies.
• Recent blood test results.
• A list of current medicines, supplements and allergies.
• A short written list of questions.

Useful questions include: What is the aim of treatment? How many cycles are planned, and how far apart are they? Which side effects should I report immediately, and to whom? Are there fertility considerations? Will any markers be tested that could change the plan?

A single session usually takes from one hour to several hours depending on the protocol. Cycles repeat every one to three weeks, and the full programme may run for several months or longer. Ask for the expected schedule in writing.

Insurance, fees and booking: what to ask before the appointment

Each profile shows its own confirmed opening hours, and they differ between clinics. Some clinics do not list Thursday, and opening times range from 09:00 to 17:00. Check the hours on the profile before you travel.

Dr. Bilal Hawari's profile lists MedNet as an insurer and a consultation fee of 30 JOD. Ask every clinic before your visit about the consultation fee, whether your insurer is accepted, and whether follow-up visits and tests are charged separately. Coverage rules can differ between the consultation, the tests and the treatment, so ask about each one.

At the first booking, confirm the reason for your visit so the clinic can allocate the right appointment length. Ask the clinic to confirm the treatment plan and the schedule of cycles in writing, and ask where each part of the care will take place.

Getting there

The clinics on this list are in three Amman districts. Dr Taher Abu Hejleh Hematology and Oncology Clinic is in Shmeisani. Abdali Hospital Outpatient Clinics are in Abdali. Dr. Bilal Hawari Clinic and Dr Ra'id Marji Hematology and Oncology Clinic are in Jabal Amman. Give the clinic name and district to your taxi driver, and allow extra time during busy hours. Dr. Bilal Hawari's profile also refers to Al Rajaa Medical Complex as a place where he assesses tumours, so confirm which site you will attend.
