There are many criteria that you can look for in a Cancer specialist before making the all-important decision regarding the choice of the specialist who is the right fit for you. The first important factor is the education base of the oncologist, his/her specialization, the experience of the specialist, and whether they have had any international experience. There are other factors as well such as any super specializations, fellowships, training, certifications that the specialist has received. Some other qualities you can look for in an oncologist and these are communications skills, empathy, an open mind to new treatment methods, and acceptance of technology.

There are various sub-specialties in the field of Oncology such as:
Telemedicine is a new age medium that is helping patients connect with specialists per their needs and requirements. It helps the patients overcome limitations such as physical distance and costs. This medium is being increasingly used by patients who are undergoing various long-term and critical illnesses such as cancer. They help the patients navigate various other issues such as immunity cover for their weakened system, dependency on other people which is not required in case of a one on one consultation, inconvenience of the delayed consultation process is negated as the patient connects real-time with the oncologist. It is easier to share medical reports, share family history and get prescriptions for medications.
Cancer specialists in India are some of the best in the world owing in no less measure to the research base of their treatments, their reliance on new technologies, their comfort with all kinds of technological upgrades, and the latest cutting-edge equipment.

In addition to this, they are well educated, professionally trained, and qualified and have unmatched experience in treating patients from various backgrounds and with all kinds of cancers in different stages. They are adept at diagnosing, treating, and helping the patients through the post-treatment or post-operative rehabilitation or recovery process.
The decision to consult a cancer specialist or an oncologist must be a well-considered one. This is usually a follow-up of your consultation with your primary physician. Your doctor will make this call after a thorough consultation session or many. The session or sessions will include one or more of the tests which are diagnostic, physical tests, laboratory tests, and biopsy in addition to going through your medical reports and gaining knowledge from you regarding your medical history. Any kind of changes to your treatment should be as per your cancer specialist or oncologist’s advice. As this may be a long-drawn treatment process which can be cancer, it is also important that any changes in your treatment process or the decision to adopt a surgical or a new age treatment option should be after due consideration of all factors involved.
There are multiple treatment options available for cancer. This includes surgery, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy. Depending on the stage and extent of your cancer, the oncologist will recommend suitable treatment plans for you.
Chemotherapy uses drugs to kill cancer cells. These can be given in the form of tablets or injections. However, radiation therapy employs high-energy beams to destroy cancer cells. The radiation can be focused on a particular area of the body.
The duration of your treatment will depend on the type of cancer treatment you are undergoing. For example, chemotherapy can take somewhere around 3-6 months. It is important to talk to your oncologist to understand more about your Treatment.
Most of the side effects of cancer treatment go away after some time. Some of the side effects include diarrhea, anemia, fatigue, hair loss, and sleep problems.
