Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about oncology and booking a oncologist
What types of oncologists are there?
There are medical oncologists (chemotherapy/immunotherapy), surgical oncologists (tumour removal), and radiation oncologists (radiotherapy). Most cancer patients see a team of all three.
How is cancer diagnosed?
Cancer diagnosis typically involves imaging (CT, MRI, PET scan), blood tests, and biopsy. The oncologist will review all findings to determine the type, stage, and best treatment plan.
What is targeted therapy?
Targeted therapy uses drugs that specifically attack cancer cells based on their genetic mutations, causing less damage to normal cells compared to traditional chemotherapy.
