Who is a Surgical Oncologist?

Surgical oncologists are also general surgeons with training in procedures for diagnosing, staging (finding the stage of cancer), and removing any cancerous growths. The most common procedures done by a surgical oncologist are surgery for cancerous growth removal and biopsies. These surgeons can also perform surgery to find the stage of cancer and determine the areas cancer has spread. Under some circumstances, surgical oncologists might also do preventive surgeries. In some specific cases, surgery might be the only treatment you may need. In other cases, you may have surgery as well as get additional treatments like chemotherapy or radiation. In such cases, a surgical oncologist might be an important part of the cancer care team.

To diagnose cancer, a surgical oncologist can perform biopsies. Biopsy procedures might include:

  • Needle biopsies like fine-needle aspiration and core biopsies
  • Abdominal surgery/laparotomy

  • Excisional (removing a suspicious area, like a mole/tumor)
  • Skin biopsy
  • Incisional (removing a portion of the suspicious area)

After a biopsy, a surgical oncologist will send all tissue samples to a pathologist, who looks for cancer cells. In case cancer is present, you can see a surgical oncologist again to have a tumor removed. A surgical oncologist might also choose to do a staging surgery to determine the size of a tumor and find if cancer has spread.

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 then 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 nonsurgical treatments (also known as neoadjuvant therapy) or post-surgery (also known as adjuvant therapy) to help in the prevention of cancer growth, metastasis or recurrence.

Reasons to avail Online Consultation with Surgical Oncologist

Cancer is a difficult condition that gives people emotional distress & panic state. Cancer patients are at a higher risk of infection than the average healthy person due to a weakened immune system that controls their body's defensive mechanism. Early identification, screening, and diagnosis are critical in cancer care. Virtual consultations have been a boon for cancer patients in these continuous epidemic scenarios and in this tech-advanced world. Patients can receive complete assessment and care regardless of their location by requesting an online consultation with an oncology specialist. At MediGence (Telemedicine service), we can help you by providing expert cancer consultation from highly experienced and board-certified Surgical oncologists in 20+ countries. This is your way to address all of your worries related to the surgery and to get prepared for your inquiries & surgical process in advance of the appointment. Following are some more reasons to avail an online consultation with a Surgical Oncologist-

  • In a virtual consultation, the doctor thoroughly examines the patient's condition and shares the medical reports, just as they would in person.
  • Online healthcare is affordable and incredibly time-effective. Furthermore, it does not frighten cancer patients who have been already going through a significant level of suffering.
  • At one location, patients can receive second opinions, consultations, and high-quality medical care.
  • Cancer patients may experience less anxiety about their course of treatment, side effects, prescriptions, follow-up visits, etc.
  • ‘Onco's virtual care management approach’ by oncologists ensures that cancer patients and caregivers receive the best possible guidance and treatment from specialists.
  • In many parts of the world, surgical techniques are still used to treat cancer. It is a localized treatment, which is thought to have the highest likelihood of success. In accordance with the type and location of your cancer, surgical oncologists can assist you in selecting the best surgical treatment.
  • You won't have to answer the same questions over and over; your medical history will be saved online and may be accessed at any time.
  • An online cancer consultation before the treatment could assess your condition better, and can give you the hope and assurance that you need in choosing a safe and reliable treatment option that you deserve.
  • You will be offered a better treatment plan that has the potential to prevent a misdiagnosis. And, perhaps even save a life.
  • In other circumstances, if a misdiagnosis has already occurred with you, the second opinion could better reveal it.
  • The oncologist will analyze your medical history and test data before either confirming or denying your cancer diagnosis.
