- Surgical Oncology Admissions in India 2015
Oncology is the study of cancer. A doctor who specializes in
treating people with cancer is called an oncologist. Usually, an oncologist
manages care and treatment once a person is diagnosed with cancer.
Surgical oncology is the branch of surgery applied to
oncology; it focuses on the surgical management of tumors, especially cancerous
tumors.
As one of several modalities in the management of cancer,
the specialty of surgical oncology, before modern medicine the only cancer
treatment with a chance of success, has evolved in steps similar to medical
oncology (pharmacotherapy for cancer), which grew out of hematology, and
radiation oncology, which grew out of radiology. The Ewing Society known today
as the Society of Surgical Oncology was started by surgeons interested in
promoting the field of oncology. Though it has not been ratified by a specialty
Board certification, the area of expertise is coming to its own by the success
of combined treatment with chemotherapy.
Job Prospects:
Oncologist is responsible for the care of a patient from the
moment of a cancer diagnosis throughout the course of the disease. The
oncologist’s role includes the following:
Explaining the cancer diagnosis and stage (a description of
where the cancer is located, if or where it has spread, and whether it is
affecting other parts of the body) to the patient
Discussing all of the treatment options and recommending the
best course of treatment
Delivering high-quality, compassionate care.
Helping maintain the patient’s quality of life by managing
cancer-related pain and other symptoms or treatment side effects, such as
constipation, nausea and vomiting, and fatigue.
A person with cancer is often treated by a multidisciplinary
team of oncologists, meaning a group of doctors who specialize in different
areas of oncology. This approach is used because cancer treatment frequently
involves a combination of surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy.
