What Kinds of Oncologists Are There?

Cancer is studied in oncology. An oncologist is a doctor who treats cancer and provides medical care to cancer patients. An oncologist is also known as a cancer specialist.

Oncology is divided into three major treatment areas: medical oncology, radiation oncology, and surgical oncology.

Oncologists inmedicine:

Cancer is treated with medications such as chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and targeted therapy.

Oncologists who useradiation:

Radiation therapy, which involves the use of high-energy x-rays or other particles to destroy cancer cells, is used to treat cancer.

Oncologists whoperform surgery:

Surgery is used to treat cancer, which includes removing the tumour and surrounding tissue during the procedure.

This type of surgeon can also perform biopsies to aid in the diagnosis of cancer.

There are also medical terms for oncologists who specialise in treating specific patient groups or cancer types. Here are some common terms defined.

Oncologists for theelderly:

Working with cancer patients over the age of 65 older adults may face additional difficulties. Geriatric oncologists are experts in providing the best care for the elderly.

Oncologists in gynaecology:

Cancers of the reproductive organs such as the cervix, fallopian tubes, ovaries, uterus, vagina, and vulva are treated.

hematologist-oncologists:

Doctors who specialise in the treatment of blood cancers such as leukaemia, lymphoma, and myeloma.

Neuro-oncologists: Treat brain, spine, and nervous system cancers

Oncologists forchildren:

Cancer treatment for children and adolescents some cancers are more common in these younger age groups. When these types of cancer occur in adults, those adults may prefer to work with a paediatric oncologist.

Oncologists for thelungs:

Treat cancers of the chest, such as the lungs and oesophagus

Oncologistsspecialising in urology:

Cancers of the genitourinary system, including the bladder, kidneys, penis, prostate gland, and testicles, are treated.

What is the oncologist's role?

An oncologist oversees a patient's care throughout the disease's progression. The diagnosis is the first step. Their responsibilities include the following:

  1. Tests to determine whether a person has cancer are recommended.
  2. Explaining a cancer diagnosis, including cancer's type and stage
  3. Discussing all treatment options and your treatment preference
  4. Providing compassionate and high-quality care

Assisting you in dealing with the symptoms and side effects of cancer and its treatment

Surgery, cancer medications, and/or radiation therapy may all be part of a person's cancer treatment plan. This means that various types of oncologists and other healthcare providers collaborate to develop a patient's overall treatment plan. This is referred to as a multidisciplinary team.

Pathologists, radiologists, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, oncology nurses, social workers, pharmacists, and other health care professionals are frequently included on cancer care teams. Another article on this website discusses these and other potential members of a multidisciplinary team. This team may also include doctors from other fields of medicine. A dermatologist, for example, is a skin specialist who can help treat skin cancer.

What exactly is atumour board?

A person's cancer diagnosis can be complicated at times. In this case, the patient's oncologist may request that the case be reviewed by a tumour board. A tumour board reviews all cancer cases in some cancer centres.

A tumour board is a group of medical experts from various fields of cancer treatment who collaborate to determine the best treatment plan. Medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, and surgical oncologists may be members of the tumour board. Other specialists may also serve on the board. Members of the tumour board can offer a variety of perspectives that can assist you in receiving the best possible care.

Following A Mastectomy, Breast Reconstruction:-

Image
  How does breast reconstruction work? The shape of the lost breast can be recreated for many women who undergo a mastectomy, a procedure to remove the entire breast to treat or prevent breast cancer . There are various alternatives available to women who decide to have their breasts rebuilt. With implants, breasts can be reconstructed (saline or silicone). The breast can occasionally be rebuilt using both implants and autologous tissue. Breast reconstruction surgery can be performed (or begun) either immediately following a mastectomy (known as immediate reconstruction) or after breast cancer treatment has been finished and the mastectomy wounds have healed. After a mastectomy, delayed reconstruction may take place months or even years later. A nipple and areola may be reconstructed as part of the breast reconstruction procedure if they were not saved after the surgery. In order to ensure that the two breasts are the same size and shape, breast reconstruction surgery ma...

Bone and Soft Tissue Pathology:-

Image
  Bone and Soft Tissue Pathology:-   Introduction :-   The study of neoplastic and non-neoplastic diseases of the soft tissues, including muscle, adipose tissue, tendons, fascia, and connective tissues, is the focus of the surgical pathology specialist known as soft tissue pathology. It can be difficult for a pathologist to make a firm diagnosis of many soft tissue cancers using only gross inspection and microscopy; therefore, additional tools such immunohistochemistry, electron microscopy, and molecular pathology procedures are occasionally used.   Pathologists at Massachusetts General Hospital as well as those in other parts of the United States and abroad can receive diagnostic assistance from the Division of Bone and Soft Tissue Pathology. Fellows educated by this organisation typically go on to become academic pathologists or specialists in large community hospitals with active orthopaedic and cancer services. Since 1986, the group's primary research...

Track 20: Occupational and Safety Health:-

  Track 20: Occupational and Safety Health :- Introduction:- A multidisciplinary field concerned with the safety, health, and welfare of individuals at work is known as occupational safety and health (OSH), also known as occupational health and safety (OHS), occupational health, or occupational safety (i.e. in an occupation). These terms initially served as an acronym for occupational safety and health program/department/etc. since they also allude to the field's objectives. Fostering a safe and healthy work environment is the aim of an occupational safety and health programme. All members of the general public who might be impacted by the workplace environment are likewise protected by OSH. An accident or illness related to the workplace claims the lives of more than 2.78 million people worldwide each year, or one every fifteen seconds. Every year, there are an extra 374 million nonfatal workplace accidents. According to estimates, the annual economic cost of occupationa...
