FAQs

What is the difference between Surgical and Medical Oncology?

Medical Oncologists focus on the Prevention, Diagnosis and Treatment of Cancer. So, Chemotherapy, Immunotherapy, Targeted, and Hormone Therapy come under the purview of the study. On the other hand, Surgical Oncologists perform surgeries to remove Cancerous Tumours or Biopsies to understand if the growth is malignant or benign.

What is Pain Management that is recommended for Cancer patients?

The condition, the level of pain, age and several other factors influence Pain Management Technique recommendations. Typically, Pain Medications, Physical Therapy and Alternate Therapies such as Acupressure, Massage etc work as effective strategies to battle pain. Call or book an appointment with the best Medical and Surgical Oncologists in Bangalore.

What is the meaning of a customised treatment plan?

A treatment plan is like a roadmap. When a person is diagnosed with a condition, it is important to assess everything including factors that will affect success, age, overall fitness of the patient, and a plan. Since each patient presents a unique challenge, a personalised or customised treatment plan is required.

Do all cancer patients have to go through Chemotherapy?

The approach and treatment required for Cancer patients are solely determined by the Size of the Tumour, the Organs that are affected, the Patient’s Age, and several other factors. In fact, many patients who are diagnosed with Stage I cancer do not need chemotherapy after surgical removal of the growth.

What do clinical trials do?

A clinical trial is a research study that is conducted with willing people. Such studies aim to find new treatment methodologies to fight a certain disease, condition, or ailment. The treatment could be in the form of a drug, medical device or diet.
