When do you need this specialty or procedure?
Medical oncology is the branch of medicine that treats cancer with medicines. These include chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy and hormone therapy, alongside supportive care for side effects. Many of the doctors on this page are also haematologists, so they assess blood disorders such as anaemia, platelet problems, leukaemia and lymphoma. Surgery and radiotherapy are delivered by other specialists. The medical oncologist usually plans the drug treatment and works with those teams.
Most people reach a medical oncologist after another doctor finds something that needs investigation. Common routes are an abnormal scan, a biopsy result, unexplained blood test changes or a confirmed cancer diagnosis. Mainstream guidance, including the NHS, advises seeing a doctor promptly about:
- A new lump or swelling that does not go away
- Unexplained weight loss or persistent tiredness
- A cough or hoarseness lasting more than three weeks, or coughing up blood
- Blood in urine or stool, or a lasting change in bowel habits
- Unusual bleeding or bruising, drenching night sweats or repeated fevers
- Difficulty swallowing or persistent indigestion
These symptoms often have causes other than cancer. A GP or internal medicine doctor can usually start the tests. A haematology or oncology consultation is also appropriate for a second opinion on a diagnosis or treatment plan, or for follow-up after treatment ends.
Urgent warning signs
If you are receiving chemotherapy or immunotherapy, some symptoms need same-day care. Do not wait for your next appointment if you have:
- A temperature of 38°C or higher, or shivering
- Difficulty breathing, chest pain or a fast heartbeat
- Bleeding that will not stop
- Vomiting or diarrhoea that stops you keeping fluids down
- Sudden confusion, severe headache or weakness on one side
Contact your treating team's emergency line straight away, and call 911 in Jordan if symptoms are severe.
How to choose among the doctors here
People searching for the best medical oncology & chemotherapy specialists in Amman usually need a good match for their own situation, not a ranking. Use these criteria:
- Focus area. Some profiles describe specific interests. Lung and head and neck cancers, molecular testing and second opinions appear on one profile. Lymphoma and survivorship appear on another. Anaemia, platelet disorders and leukaemia follow-up appear on a third. Match the published services to your diagnosis.
- Clinic or hospital setting. Six of the ten doctors work at King Hussein Cancer Center. The others see patients at private clinics or hospital outpatient clinics. Ask where chemotherapy itself would be given, because a consultation clinic and an infusion unit are not always in the same place.
- Continuity. Treatment often runs for months with frequent visits. Choose a doctor you can realistically keep seeing, and ask who covers when your doctor is away.
- Second opinions. If you already have a plan from another doctor, a second opinion is common and reasonable. Bring the full records so the review is meaningful.
- Practicalities. Compare confirmed hours, distance from home and accepted insurers on each profile.
What to expect at the first visit
The first appointment is usually longer than a routine consultation. The doctor will take a detailed history, review your existing results, examine you and explain what further tests may be needed. Treatment is often not decided on day one. Staging scans, extra pathology work or a team discussion may come first.
What to bring
- Pathology and biopsy reports, including any molecular or genetic test results
- Imaging reports and the discs or digital images themselves
- Recent blood tests
- A list of all your medicines, supplements and allergies
- A summary of any previous cancer treatment, with dates
- Your national ID or passport and insurance card
Questions worth asking
- What type of cancer or blood disorder is this, and what stage is it?
- What is the goal of treatment: cure, control or symptom relief?
- What are my options, and what does each involve?
- Which side effects should I expect, and what should I do if they happen?
- How often will I need to come in, and for how long?
- Who do I contact outside clinic hours?
Bring a family member or friend to take notes if you can. Important conversations are easier to remember when someone else hears them too.
Insurance, fees and booking: what to ask before the appointment
Cancer care involves more than the consultation: laboratory tests, scans, pathology reviews, medicines and infusion sessions. Before you book, ask the clinic or your insurer:
- Is my insurance accepted for this doctor and at this location?
- What is the consultation fee, and is a follow-up visit charged differently?
- Do chemotherapy, immunotherapy or targeted drugs need prior approval, and how long does approval take?
- Are tests and scans done on site, or will I be sent elsewhere?
- Is a referral letter required to register as a new patient?
- For remote consultations, where offered, how are records shared and how is payment handled?
One profile on this page lists Arab Orient Insurance. For the others, confirm insurance directly. Get approval details in writing where possible.
Getting there
Amman is home to around 5 million residents and the kingdom's largest concentration of hospitals. That also means busy roads at peak times. King Hussein Cancer Center is in Jubeiha, and six of the doctors listed here work there. One clinic is in Shmeisani, and the remaining addresses are shown on each profile.
- Allow extra time for traffic and parking, especially on weekday mornings.
- On treatment days you may feel tired or unwell afterwards, so arrange for someone else to drive you home.
- Some clinics close early on Thursday, so check confirmed hours before planning a late appointment.
- If you are visiting from outside Jordan, plan accommodation near the clinic for treatment cycles that need repeated visits.
Checklist before you book
- Match the doctor's published services to your diagnosis or question
- Confirm the clinic location and where any treatment would be given
- Check confirmed hours, including Thursday
- Ask whether your insurance is accepted and what needs prior approval
- Ask about the consultation fee and any referral requirement
- Gather pathology, imaging, blood results and your medicine list
- Write down your questions and bring someone with you
- Save your treating team's after-hours contact details, and remember 911 for emergencies
Frequently asked questions
How was this list of oncologists in Amman chosen?
The ten doctors are drawn from 22 oncology profiles on ClinicsJo for Amman. They are ordered by a published 100-point score of profile completeness. The score covers verification, reviews, published experience, qualifications, biography, photo, services, insurers, confirmed hours, fee and map location. Featured profiles appear first with a badge. The order does not measure treatment quality or outcomes.
What is the difference between a medical oncologist and other cancer specialists?
A medical oncologist treats cancer with medicines such as chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy and hormone therapy. A surgical oncologist removes tumours, and a radiation oncologist delivers radiotherapy. Haematologist-oncologists also manage blood disorders and blood cancers. Many patients see more than one of these specialists, and their plan is often agreed by a team.
Do I need a referral to see an oncologist in Amman?
It depends on the clinic and your insurance. Some private clinics accept direct bookings. Hospital-based services and many insurers may ask for a referral letter or prior approval, particularly for treatment. Ask the clinic and your insurer before booking, and bring any letters and reports from the doctor who ordered your tests.
Can I get a second opinion on a cancer diagnosis or treatment plan?
Yes. Second opinions are common in cancer care and are generally encouraged when decisions are complex. On this page, Dr. Taher Abu Hejleh lists second medical opinions and pathology and imaging review among his services. Bring the original biopsy report, scans on disc, blood results and the proposed plan so the review can be thorough.
When should someone on chemotherapy go to emergency?
Seek urgent care for a temperature of 38°C or higher, shivering, breathing difficulty, chest pain, bleeding that will not stop, or vomiting or diarrhoea that stops you keeping fluids down. Sudden confusion or weakness also needs urgent care. Infections can become serious quickly during treatment. Contact your treating team immediately, and call 911 in Jordan if symptoms are severe.
Should I see a haematologist-oncologist for anaemia or abnormal blood counts?
Many cases of anaemia are first investigated by a GP or internal medicine doctor. A haematology review is often advised when the cause is unclear, when several blood counts are abnormal, or when results do not improve. Several doctors here list blood disorder assessment. Dr. Salah Abbasi lists anaemia and platelet disorder assessment.
What should I bring to my first oncology appointment?
Bring pathology and biopsy reports, any molecular test results, imaging reports with the image discs, and recent blood tests. Also bring a full list of your medicines and supplements and a summary of any previous treatment. Bring your ID and insurance card too. A written list of questions and a companion to take notes make the visit more useful.
