Do I need an oncologist?

If you have been diagnosed with cancer, or suspect that you have cancer, you need to visit an oncologist to receive the right advice. If you have not been diagnosed with cancer, but would like to be screened for cancer, you can visit an oncologist.

Will I need only one type of oncologist for my cancer?

It is likely that you will need more than one type of oncologist if your treatment plan includes multiple modalities like surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy.

Q: Who is an Oncologist?

An oncologist is a doctor who specialises in the treatment of cancer. There are different types of oncologists like medical oncologists (for chemotherapy), surgical oncologists (for surgeries) and radiation oncologists (for radiation therapy). Different oncologists specialise in the treatment of different types of cancer, depending on the organ where the cancer began.

Q: What are the qualifications of an Oncologist?

An oncologist would have completed five years of medical study and obtained a degree (MBBS) recognised by the General Medical Council, and would also have completed a two year course of medical training as is mandatory for all doctors. An oncologist would have a further specialisation in one of the following areas of cancer expertise: DM - Hematology DNB - Hematology FRCPath - Haematology DM - Oncology Ph.D. - Medical Oncology DNB - Medical Oncology DM - Clinical Haematology DM - Haematology Pathology/Hematopathology Fellowship Programme in Orthopedic Oncology Fellowship in Gynaec Oncology MCh - Gynaecological Oncology DM - Medical Oncology Diplomate in Medical Oncology (American Board of Internal Medicine) Fellowship in Medical Oncology FRCR - Clinical Oncology DNB - Medical Oncology Junior Residency Training Program (Surgical Oncology) Training in Surgical Oncology (G.I.

Surgical oncologists specialise in performing surgeries, medical oncologists specialise in treatments like chemotherapy and radiation oncologists specialise in radiation therapy. To find the right oncologist for you, you can use our OCPAP™ service for free, or you can call us for further assistance.

I have taken therapy sessions with Bincy Matthew through my cancer journey. I am very greatful to have found her through the Onco app. I believe she made my journey easier by sharing her experience and tips/ exercises to practice. Each session left me with hope and positivity. Thank you Dr Saini, Onco team and Bincy! I recommend it highly to anyone seeking help.

Though at the 1st time it seems just a review or story.. but..here we go..My grandfather aged ~82 had head and neck cancer. At this age and with the covid situation, i was not able to decide what best can be done. We consulted with many doctors..surgeons .. radiologist..etc.. but we were never confident on the plan of action as the treatment suggested by different doctors were very different.. surgeons were suggesting surgery while some doctors suggested to have only radition therapy. Finally, I got to Onco.. I met Dr Larissa, and in the first conversation I felt that am atleast not at the wrong place. Dr Larissa without being in a hurry listened to the whole case and asked for the reports. Once we shared report, we got a suggestion from a bench of doctors who were not less than masters in their domain. It boosted my confidence in Onco and also the suggestion was very pocket friendly, they gave all the possible options and finally I got a good surgeon with whom the treatment went very well and now he is recovering very fast. I am thankful to the founder and the team as nothing can be much noble than saving a life.I think if you are also in a situation where you don't know how to deal cancer..this is the place.. just trust them and you will feel like you have got a genie to help you in this difficult moment of life.Thanks again to Dr Larissa for being so helpful and empathetic.

Today I needed to get an appointment for consultation with an oncology expert through onco.com. I live in India right now and I was consulting for my sister who is sick in Afghanistan. Getting the appointment went so well! I would like to commend onco.com for having one of the best care managers: MS . DIKSHA. She really proved that she cared so much! From the way she called , the soft caring tone of her voice, the way she spoke clearly so that I could understand word by word, the way she listened actively with some questions here and there to confirm what I was trying to convey.... My God ! She made sure to give me clear information about the appointment I required and the place I was living, my own name, the patient's name , confirmed my phone number.... told me the name of the doctor and the hospital near to my home and shortly after the time of appointment. She is such a gem of a person ! (Ms.Diksha, I hope I will be able to thank you in person one day !!! You are such a great care manager. THE ONE WHO CARES DEEPLY AND MANEGES WONDERFULLY! THANK YOU , GOD BLESS.)

Dr.Minu was ver helpful my father is suffering with fourth stage liver cancer and he was to get operated at the Apollo hospital. but due to the doctor suggested by Dr.Minu we were able to take second advice in that critical phase we were going through at that time. The doctor advised against surgery as he is 81 years and might not survive it .Today he is put in medication and is doing quite well. God bless Dr. Minu.

My father was diagnosed with stomach cancer (adenocarcinoma, Signet ring type) in December, 2020. I was completely blank and perplexed about the treatment procedures until I contacted Onco.com. Their response, mainly Miss Saini's response was distinguishable. She, alone with their panel, not only advised me the best treatment possible, but also helped me psychologically, as these things take toll on your mental health as well. Overall, onco.com is wortb giving a try as it suggests you the best treatment possible, along with many follow-ups. It's a good initiative, all thanks to their core team and doctors/specialists and not to mention, to Miss Saini as well.

We had a great experience with onco.com. The counsellor was available 24*7 and answered every query/doubt we have and chartered the next way of treatment. The onco board constituted by Onco.com has renowned experts and the report they have given is crystal clear, with FAQ's and future path of treatment. They cleared all our doubts and fears and I can say with confidence, this platform is the best second opinion one for cancer treatment in India. Thank you and cheers, Onco.com
