Medical oncologists specialise in diagnosing, treating, and managing cancer primarily through non-surgical means: chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, and hormonal therapy and work in conjunction with other specialists in comprehensive cancer care.
If you have cancer, your primary doctor thinks you may have cancer because of symptoms or test results, or if your primary doctor says you may have cancer, you should seek out a medical oncologist. The sooner you see one, the sooner an optimal treatment plan can be devised.
The treatment plan is based on the type of cancer, stage of the disease, molecular markers, and overall patient health. Medical oncologists may customise a therapy tied to combinations and clinical standards.
Medical oncologists treat cancers with medications like chemotherapy and immunotherapy, while surgical oncologists remove tumors with surgical intervention.
It depends on what type of treatment you are getting; some will require weekly visits, and for others, appointments may only be necessary once every month. The frequency of follow-ups allows for treatment adjustments and symptom management.
Medical oncologists provide a perspective on preventive measures, especially for high-risk individuals. Such measures may include lifestyle modification, screening, or preventive medication recommendations.
