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.

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?
