  • Sudden weight loss
  • Fatigue
  • Pain
  • Thickening or lump in the body
  • Visible changes in any wart or mole present in the body

Oncologists in India are medical professionals who accurately identify cancer through a range of diagnostic tools, from physical examinations to advanced imaging techniques and biopsies. If the cancer is confirmed, they provide necessary treatment including surgical interventions. Based on the roles, an oncologist can be categorised into:

Medical Oncologists: These medical professionals focus on systemic treatment of cancer by utilising chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, and hormonal therapy to manage the disease.

Surgical Oncologists: They specialise in surgically removing tumours and cancerous tissues present in specific parts of the body. Surgical oncologists along with other specialists to ensure comprehensive treatment plans for cancer patients.

Radiation Oncologists: These oncologists specialise in using radiation therapy to target and destroy cancer cells. The radiation therapy is usually accompanied with other treatment methods in order to improve the chances of recovery. 

Throughout the course of treatment, the best oncologists in India closely monitor patients, evaluate therapeutic responses and manage any side effects or complications that may arise during the process of treatment.

Criteria To Choose The Best Cancer Doctors In India

Acknowledging the importance of early detection, it’s essential to seek an oncologist who can identify the condition and provide treatment measures. 

Here are some criteria to choose best oncologist in india -

Expertise and specialisation: There are various specialisations in oncology based on the body organ affected such as breast cancer, prostate cancer etc. Hence, it’s crucial to ensure that the oncologist is specialised in treating the cancer the patient is suffering from. This ensures safety to the cancer patients and provides the best possible treatment.

Oncologist’s treatment approach: Before starting the treatment, it’s important to ask and get well versed with the treatment technique the oncologist is going to adopt. Each treatment approach has its pros and cons, so patients must be aware of it.

Patients’ feedback: Before consulting any oncologist in India, many people consider reviews of previous patients regarding their treatment experience. Experience of previous patients add valuable insights and reassurance to the new patients.

Easy consultation and short waiting hours: Cancer patients often require timely access to medical care and support. Oncologists who prioritise convenient scheduling and minimal waiting times are more preferred for their patient-centric approach.

Procedures Performed by Oncologists in India: Once the cancerous growth has been detected, oncologists plan the treatment based on the tumour size, its spread, patient's requirement and their health status. Here are some therapeutic procedures performed by the best oncologists in the treatment of cancer.

  1. Chemotherapy: In this treatment, medicines and drugs are used which interfere with the cancer cells' ability to grow and divide, thus, ultimately destroying them. 
  2. Radiation therapy: This technique, used in combination with other therapeutic approaches,utilises high energy particles or waves to destroy or damage cancer cells. 
  3. Targeted therapy: In this technique, firstly, drugs are used to precisely identify the cancer cells and then cancer cells are destroyed without causing much harm to the neighbouring healthy cells. 
  4. Immunotherapy: In this technique, the body's immune cells are utilised to treat cancer by inducing specifically designed formulations in the body. 
  5. Biopsy: When symptoms of cancer are detected for the first time, biopsy is done to confirm if it is cancerous or not. With the help of a needle, a sample of cells from the suspected area is taken out and sent to the laboratory for histopathological examination. It also helps to decide the treatment plan if the presence of cancer cells have been confirmed.
  6. Surgery for cancer removal: Surgery is recommended when the location and type of the tumour has been determined. Surgical oncologists remove the tumour by using some techniques which can been categorised as-
  7. Laparoscopic surgery: This minimally invasive procedure which involves multiple small incisions rather than a single large one to remove the cancerous tissue. This approach promotes quicker healing and reduces the risk of infection due to the minimal exposed surface area.
  8. Laser surgery: This surgery specifically targets the tumour cells located at not easily accessible body part with a laser. Laser reduce its size after which it becomes easier to remove them.
  9. Cryosurgery/Cryotherapy/Cryoablation: In this surgery, very cold material, such as liquid nitrogen spray(for skin cancer) or a cold probe (for tumour inside the body) are used to freeze the cancer cells and destroy them.
  10. Electrosurgery: In this type of surgery, electric current is used to kill cancer and then it is desiccated to seal off blood vessels during surgery.
  11. Mohs surgery: In this method, cancer cells are removed in layers one by one. Each layer is observed and removed until all the cancer is removed and no signs of cancer are found thereafter. Mohs surgery is usually preferred on sensitive areas such as the eye.
  12. Robotic surgery: During robotic surgery, one or more robotic arms are used to operate on the areas which are hard-to-reach. This ensures faster treatment and less complications after surgery. Natural orifice surgery- In this surgical intervention, oncologists pass surgical tools through a natural body opening, such as the mouth, rectum or vagina instead of making any hole and excision to surgically remove the tumour.
