An oncologist specializes in the evaluation, diagnosis and management of cancer. An oncologist helps patients understand their diagnosis and treatment options and develops an appropriate treatment plan based on their clinical condition.
An oncology consultation may be recommended when cancer is suspected or diagnosed, or when specialist guidance is required for treatment planning, ongoing treatment and follow-up care.
Chemotherapy uses medicines to destroy or control cancer cells. Depending on the cancer type and treatment plan, chemotherapy may be used alone or along with other cancer treatments.
Immunotherapy is a form of cancer treatment that helps the immune system recognize and respond to cancer cells. Its suitability depends on the cancer type and the patient's individual clinical condition.
Targeted therapy uses medicines designed to act on specific characteristics of cancer cells. It may be considered when appropriate for a particular cancer and based on the patient's treatment plan.
During an oncology consultation, the doctor reviews the patient's medical history, symptoms, diagnostic reports and other relevant clinical information. This helps determine the next steps for evaluation, treatment planning and follow-up.
Regular follow-up allows the medical team to monitor the patient's condition, review treatment response, manage treatment-related concerns and provide appropriate ongoing care.
