How to Choose the Right Oncologist in Kukatpally
- Know the three types: a medical oncologist treats with chemotherapy, targeted therapy and immunotherapy, a surgical oncologist operates, and a radiation oncologist treats with radiotherapy. Most cancers need a team of all three.
- Check the qualification: look for a DM or DrNB in Medical Oncology, an MCh or DrNB in Surgical Oncology, or an MD or DNB in Radiation Oncology.
- Ask about the tumour board: a multidisciplinary tumour board, where specialists review each case together, helps plan the best sequence of treatment.
- Look at the set-up: chemotherapy day care, radiotherapy, imaging, pathology and palliative care in one place make treatment easier.
- Bring your records: biopsy reports, scans, blood tests and earlier treatment summaries make a first visit more useful.
