Oncologists are physicians who have specialized training in diagnosing and treating cancer. These specialists have extensive training and expertise in cancer care, including chemotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, and cancer surgeries to treat cancer patients. They work to develop personalized treatment plans, monitor patient progress, and provide comprehensive care to individuals facing cancer diagnoses.
Educational requirements:
MBBS degree
MD in Internal Medicine
DM in Medical Oncology
Many also pursue additional training like hematology-oncology, pediatric oncology
For a successful oncologist, the doctor may follow these basic steps for the treatment of a patient:
Take medical history and perform cancer screening physical examinations.
Recommend diagnostic tests - imaging, scans, biomarker tests, biopsies
Determine cancer staging based on test results.
Formulate optimal treatment plans - chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation.
Prescribe medications to destroy cancer cells.
Provide pain management and palliative care.
Offer emotional support and counseling to patients.
They may clinically suspect cancer-based on the patient's symptoms, physical examination, and imaging findings.
An oncologist can diagnose cancer by examining actual tissue samples collected through biopsy.
Biopsy remains essential for confirmation, accurate staging, molecular profiling, and targeted therapy.
Oncologists are highly trained medical specialists who focus on diagnosing, treating, and managing cancer. They possess expertise in a wide range of cancer types, which include but are not limited to:
Lung Cancer: Oncologists diagnose and treat non-small and small cell lung cancers, often using therapies like chemotherapy, targeted therapy, radiation therapy, and immunotherapy
Breast Cancer: Breast cancer treatment involves various approaches, such as surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, hormone therapy, and targeted therapy, depending on the type and stage of the cancer.
Colon Cancer: Oncologists manage colon and colorectal cancers, devising treatment plans that may include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and immunotherapy.
Prostate Cancer: For prostate cancer, oncologists may recommend treatments like surgery, radiation therapy, hormone therapy, chemotherapy, or immunotherapy, depending on the cancer's stage and aggressiveness.
Liver Cancer: Oncologists assess and treat liver cancers, often utilizing liver resection, transplantation, ablation therapies, chemotherapy, and targeted therapy.
Ovarian Cancer: The treatment of ovarian cancer typically involves surgery, chemotherapy, and, in some cases, targeted therapy or immunotherapy.
Pancreatic Cancer: Oncologists manage pancreatic cancer through surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy, tailoring treatment plans to the individual's condition.
One should consult an oncologist for persistent symptoms like:
Unexplained weight loss
Fatigue
Loss of appetite
Lumps or masses
Abnormal bleeding
Chronic pain
Recurring infections
These symptoms may indicate the presence of cancer and warrant a thorough evaluation by an oncologist for proper diagnosis and treatment.
Oncologists frequently perform the following:
Biopsy:
A medical procedure to collect a small sample of tissue or cells from a suspicious area in the body.
Used for diagnosis, determining the nature of a mass or lesion, and identifying cancerous cells.
Different biopsy methods include needle biopsy, surgical biopsy, and endoscopic biopsy.
Chemotherapy:
Cancer treatment involves using drugs to kill or inhibit the growth of cancer cells.
Administered through various routes, including intravenous (IV) infusion, oral pills, or injections.
It may be used alone or with other treatments like surgery or radiation therapy.
Palliative Procedures:
Medical interventions aimed at alleviating pain, discomfort, or symptoms associated with cancer.
Designed to improve a patient's quality of life and manage pain or side effects of cancer treatments.
Examples include nerve blocks, drainage of fluid collections, and pain management techniques.
Oncologists utilize these approaches as part of their comprehensive care to diagnose, treat, and manage cancer and its associated symptoms.
During the initial consultation with an oncologist:
Detailed medical history is obtained from the patient.
The oncologist inquires about symptoms and their duration
A thorough physical examination is conducted.
Existing medical reports and imaging studies are reviewed.
Additional tests or biopsies may be ordered to confirm or evaluate suspected cancer.
The oncologist explains the diagnosis based on the findings.
A comprehensive treatment plan is discussed and tailored to the patient's condition.

A physician specializing in diagnosing and treating cancer is called an oncologist. The three main types are:
Medical oncologist - treats cancer using chemotherapy, immunotherapy
Surgical oncologist - uses surgical techniques to remove tumors.
Radiation oncologist - uses high-energy radiation to destroy cancer cells.
Cancer is caused by damage to DNA that allows cells to grow and divide uncontrollably. This damage can result from genetic mutations, environmental factors, lifestyle habits like smoking, or a combination.
Common signs of cancer include:
New lumps or abnormal growths
Unexplained weight loss
Unusual bleeding or discharge
Chronic fatigue, weakness
Skin changes or sores that won't heal
Persistent pain localized in one area
Some cancers like testicular, thyroid, early-stage prostate, skin, and breast cancers have high cure rates if detected early. Overall, cancer survival rates are improving with advanced treatments. But not all cancers can be cured, especially at later stages.
Some cancers cause pain as they infiltrate tissues, while others don't initially cause pain. Cancer can press on organs, nerves, and bones as it grows, leading to localized pain. Cancer treatments can also produce side effects like pain, nausea, etc.
