All About Oncology & Oncosurgery
A specialist and also a medical professional who practices oncology is an oncologist. In the last few years, we have seen a lot of effective preventive methods, advance and better screening of cancers and also better treatment options are available.
Cancer is no more a rare disease and affects a lot of people every year. There is no particular treatment of cancer, but if diagnosed in early stages, it can be controlled and destroyed. With the increasing consumption of alcohol, tobacco, junk food, etc. the chances of getting cancer is also increasing. All these risk factors add up to the cause of different kinds of cancer in human beings.
Once the cancer has been diagnosed after doing all the required tests and screening, the next major step is to decide the right treatment. The oncologist ensures the stage of cancer you are in, and then discusses it with the patient or with his family. The treatment is based on the stage of the cancer and hence, the doctor will choose chemotherapy or a radiation therapy for the same.
In chemotherapy, the cancer cells are destroyed with the help of strong medicated drugs whereas in radiation therapy, the cancerous cells or tumors are destroyed with the help of radioactive waves. There are other treatments of different kinds of cancer and there are also some medicines that are used to ease the pain during cancer, etc.
