Specialty
Information and support around cancer concerns: evaluating symptoms, understanding results and planning the next steps with a specialist.
Oncology is the branch of medicine that deals with cancer. An oncologist helps with diagnosis, explains the type and stage of a cancer, discusses the treatment options available and coordinates follow-up. Many people first meet an oncologist because a scan, a blood test or a lump has raised a question, which is often a stressful time. A specialist can explain what the findings do and do not mean.
These symptoms have many common causes that are not cancer, but they should be checked rather than ignored.
