The three types of cancer specialists are:

  • Medical Oncologist

About Radiation Oncologist

A radiation oncologist is a physician who specializes in the controlled use of ionizing radiation for the treatment of cancer. Radiation oncology is a branch of oncology, which is often used in combination with the other two branches of medical oncology and surgical oncology to treat a cancer patient.

A radiation oncologist works alongside medical oncologist, surgical oncologist, radiologists, interventional radiologists, internal medicine specialists as well as physicists who form a part of multidisciplinary cancer team at the hospital. The team, based on the patient’s clinical status, develops a comprehensive treatment plan. A radiation oncologist determines the dosage and delivery method of radiation therapy to be given to the patient as per the current clinical status and medical history.

About Surgical Oncologist

A surgical oncologist is a surgeon specialized in treating cancer that requires surgery to remove tumors and other cancerous tissues. He performs surgeries for removing tumor or cancerous tissues and also the nearby susceptible tissues. Surgical oncologists also perform certain types of biopsies to help in the diagnosis of cancer. They work in coordination with other doctors, specialists and clinicians to help in reducing the pain, side effects, clinicians and speed up the recovery after the surgery.

A surgical oncologist is usually the first specialist doctor you will see if your primary care physician suspects that you have cancer. Surgical oncologist then performs biopsies by taking a small portion of the tissues so that it can be checked for the presence of cancer.

If the presence of cancerous cells gets confirmed, the surgical oncologist will perform surgery to remove the tumor or cancerous cells and the surrounding tissues. The surgeon will also help you prepare for and recover from any surgical procedure that you have to undergo during your cancer treatment.

Most of the patients have cancer surgery combined with other treatments like chemotherapy, radiation therapy or hormone therapy. Sometimes, non-surgical treatments (also known as neoadjuvant therapy) or post-surgery treatments (also known as adjuvant therapy) help in the prevention of cancer growth, metastasis or cancer recurrence.

A medical oncologist is a physician who specializes in the diagnosis, treatment, and care of patients who have cancer of any tissue or organ. He provides treatment of cancer using systematic therapies- like chemotherapy, targeted therapy, hormone therapy, immunotherapy- and biological agents.

A medical oncologist usually works in conjunction with other multi-disciplinary cancer specialists, for instance, surgical oncologists, radiation oncologists, radiologists or interventional radiologists, to give the best treatment outcomes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which are some of the best hospitals in Israel, All are associated with?
Who is a Cancer Specialist?

An oncologist is a doctor who specializes in diagnosing and treating cancer. If you have cancer, a cancer specialist will design a treatment plan based on pathology reports that say what type of cancer you have, up to what extent it has developed, how quickly it is likely to spread, and what body parts are affected.

As most cancers are treated through a combination of therapies, you could see several different kinds of cancer specialists during the course of your treatment. The types of cancer specialists include:

Medical oncologists: Medical oncologists treat cancer using hormonal therapies, chemotherapy, biological therapies, and other targeted treatments. People often consider a medical oncologist as their primary cancer doctor.

Radiation oncologists: Radiation oncologists use high-energy photon beams to destroy cancer cells.

Surgical oncologists: A surgical oncologist may be the first doctor you may see if your primary care physician thinks that you have cancer. Surgical oncologists often perform a biopsy, which involves the removal of a small section of tissues to check for cancer cells.

Pediatric oncologists: A pediatric oncologist specializes in certain types of cancer, and conducts research on childhood cancers.

Gynecologic oncologists: Gynecologic oncologists can treat cancers that affect women, such as cervical, ovarian, uterine, vaginal, and vulvar cancers.

Hematologist-oncologist: Doctors who specialize in treating blood cancers likely lymphoma and leukemia are called hematologists, because they may treat blood disorders that are not cancer, like hemophilia and sickle cell anemia.

What are the qualifications of a Cancer Specialist?

A cancer specialist must choose a specific discipline to have expertise in a particular type of procedure. The minimum educational qualification for becoming a cancer specialist is a Bachelor’s Degree or Higher Degree from an accredited university or college.

Students after passing their 12th class in the science stream need to pursue a Bachelor’s Degree from a recognized college or university. Candidates have to appear in entrance tests for getting admission in the very courses related to oncology.

Then go for an MBBS degree, after which you do a three-year:

a) M.S., followed by a three-year M.Ch. Program

b) M.D. (Medicine/ Paediatrics), topped up with a DM (Medical Oncology) qualification

c) M.D. in Radiotherapy. If you can’t do M.S. or M.D., opt for a DNB

A Master’s degree is given more credit in offering jobs or becoming a specialist in Oncology.

How to choose some of the best rated doctors in Israel?

The majority of people believe they do have a broad understanding of what a "good" doctor can accomplish or haven't given it any thought. If you're searching for a new doctor or a specialist, you might have a few extra questions about what to look for in a medical professional. Knowing what makes a good doctor can aid in the diagnosis and get you the care you want without having to worry about anything.

  • Domain Knowledge - A qualified doctor should understand how the entire body works as a unit and what one must do to keep their complete health. They should keep up with all of the newest developments in the industry and share their knowledge in an easy-to-understand manner. Patients will become more likely to follow this advice correctly and trust the doctor when there is an issue if doctors provide a wide range of facts and clearly state why they consider a given style of medical care to be good.
  • Doctor’s Reputation - Doctors are frequently chosen by word of mouth, but when looking for a new doctor, it is crucial to consider your sources. Ask a few different people and watch whose name keeps coming up. You can also get useful information by asking your primary care physician about specialists and others in the region. Several people nowadays look for reviews of new doctors on the internet, but this information might be skewed. To gain a better idea about what a doctor is like, look for consistency in remarks regarding them, both favorable and negative.
  • Credentials of the Doctor - A good school education or other credentials may not guarantee that a doctor will deliver exceptional care, but it is a fine place to begin. If the doctor's credentials or affiliations within the field are lacking, this is a red flag. Check to see if the doctor is board certified and has fulfilled all licensure criteria. Knowing the hospital they are linked with or what qualifications other members of their practice have can give you an idea of the kind of care one will receive if they require extra treatment.
  • Empathy and Sincerity of the Doctor - The doctor's demeanor can put you at ease during the appointments. A patient wishes to feel that their doctor actually cares about them and their family so that one can openly discuss any questions or concerns they may have. It is not a bad idea to switch doctors if one does not feel emotionally connected to their current one. Seek someone who is friendly and attentive, and who encourages their patients to express themselves freely. To make someone comfortable and make it simpler for them to follow treatments effectively, the doctor must explain what they are doing and the reasoning behind it.
  • Good Communication Skills - A physician must be able to communicate effectively with their patients, which entails both listening to them and presenting information in an understandable way. Patients who can communicate effectively with their doctors are more likely to comply with their treatment regimen and reveal any extra health issues they could be facing. This will assist clinicians in identifying potentially harmful trends that the patient might be experiencing and intervening to ensure that therapies are effective.
