    Know Your Oncologist

    Oncology is the field of research dedicated to cancer. It is the medical speciality that concentrates on the study, prognosis, and treatment of cancer. An oncologist is a medical professional who focuses on the identification and treatment of cancer. The term medical oncologist refers to oncologists who cure cancer by utilising drugs and chemotherapy. Surgical oncologists are oncologists who execute procedures to cure tumours and adjacent tissues.

    Radiation oncologists are doctors of oncology who cure cancer with radiation treatment.

    Other oncologists include gynaecologic oncologists, paediatric oncologists, and haematologist oncologists.

    When should I see an oncologist?

    A Physician may recommend you to an oncologist if they reach a cancer diagnosis or if you have cancer-related symptoms. A pathologist will take a tissue sample from you and study it. If the sample is determined to be carcinogenic, several diagnostic exams and scans could be carried out to estimate the cancer's growth and detect if it has progressed. To plan a treatment strategy for specific patients, oncologists are brough onboard. Patients are free to consult with other medical professionals or teams. Patients can ask that their health records be forwarded to the doctor to get a second opinion, or they can ask that their Physician or expert refer them to other physicians.

    Reaching out to an oncologist is easier nowadays via a video or an audio call. You can do this through a Google search by typing ‘consult oncologist online/online consultation with oncologist’’

    You can visit a medical oncologist if you experiencing the following conditions:

    • You've been given a cancer diagnosis.
    • Your skin begins to thicken or develop a lump.
    • You're losing weight or losing your appetite without any clear cause.
    • Your frequency of bowel or bladder sessions has changed consistently.

    Difference between medical and surgical oncologists

    Cancer is treated non-surgically by a medical oncologist by using techniques including chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and targeted therapy. Contrarily, surgical oncologists do biopsies to identify cancer and conduct operations to eliminate malignant cells and tumours.

    A medical oncologist oversees the progress of the patient's treatment as the primary healthcare practitioner for someone with cancer. General surgeons who specialise in cancer and associated surgical treatments are called surgical oncologists. A medical oncologist also serves as the authorised person who oversees the patients' post-treatment follow-ups and examinations. Performing specific kinds of biopsies to aid in the diagnosis of cancer is another area of expertise for surgical oncologists.

    Takeaway

    As discussed, an oncologist is a professional who helps in the diagnosis and treatment of different types of cancer with the help of related tests. Consulting an oncologist at an initial stage can lead to efficient management of cancer. The practice of consulting an oncologist online has made it easy for many patients to interact with their oncologist at any given time.
