ROLES OF AN ONCOLOGIST

A medical professional who is an expert in diagnosing and treating various types of cancers is termed as an oncologist. They’ll diagnose patients having different kinds of cancers in various parts of their bodies including skin, lungs, eyes, mouth, bones, blood, stomach as well as other organs and areas. The role of an oncologist is to observe and determine the symptoms of cancer and its present stage and develop an effective plan accordingly for its treatment. Cancer can be either completely eradicated or restricted so that it may not spread to other parts of the body.
A radiation oncologist specializes in treating various types of cancer with the help of radiation. An effective plan would be developed along with the consultation of other team members in order to supervise the progress of the patient and adjust the plan of action accordingly. A surgical oncologist may also be required where a tumor can be removed without damaging any of the vital organs. Sometimes, even post surgery, treatments such as radiation and chemotherapy are used in order to fight remaining cancerous cells, if any, and prevent their further growth.
An oncology nurse’s role is as important as that of the medical oncologist’s, who plans and carries out cancer treatment. She is also responsible for educating the patient and his/her relatives regarding the kind of treatment patient will be receiving and how it is going to help.
