Oncologist

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. An oncologist is responsible for the care of a patient from the moment of a cancer diagnosis throughout the course of the disease.

                                                 

Here’s a rundown of the cancer specialists you might see:

Medical oncologist: A medical oncologist is a health professional who usually specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. A medical oncologist may be one of the first doctors a person with cancer will need to consult. You’ll likely visit your medical oncologist for long-term, regular checkups.

Radiation oncologist: Radiation oncology is a medical specialty that involves treating cancer with radiation. Doctors who specialize in treating cancer with radiation (radiation oncologists) use radiation therapy to treat a wide variety of cancers.

Surgical oncologist: This is a surgeon who has special training in treating cancer. Your surgical oncologist may be called in to diagnose cancer with a biopsy. Surgical oncologists also treat cancer by removing tumors or other cancerous tissue.

Types of CANCER : A brief introduction

There are many types of cancer. Some of major cancer types are given below :

Adrenal Cancer:  Adrenal cancer is a rare form of cancer that develops in the adrenal glands, which are located on top of the kidneys. The small glands are comprised of two separately functioning parts: the cortex (outer layer of the gland) and the medulla (the inner area of the gland).

                                      

Anal Cancer: Anal cancer is an uncommon malignancy that starts in the anus - the opening at the end of the rectum.

                                                    

                                            

                                                   

                                                   

Bladder Cancer: Cancer that forms in tissues of the bladder (the organ that stores urine).

                                                

                                        

Bone Cancer: Bone Cancer can be primary bone cancer or secondary bone cancer. Primary bone cancer started in the bone; the cancer initially formed in the cells of the bone, while secondary cancer started elsewhere in the body and spread to the bone. 

                                             

                                                   

Breast Cancer: The first sign of breast cancer often is a breast lump or an abnormal mammogram. Breast cancer stages range from early, curable breast cancer to metastatic breast cancer, with a variety of breast cancer treatments. Male breast cancer is not uncommon and must be taken seriously.

                                                      

                                               

Lung Cancer: Lung cancer is the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells that start off in one or both lungs; usually in the cells that line the air passages. The abnormal cells do not develop into healthy lung tissue; they divide rapidly and form tumors. As tumors become larger and more numerous, they undermine the lung’s ability to provide the bloodstream with oxygen. 

                                     

                              

Ovarian Cancer: Ovarian cancer is any cancerous growth that may occur in different parts of the ovary. The majority of ovarian cancers arise from the epithelium (outer lining) of the ovary.

                                         

                                       

Stomach Cancer: Stomach cancer, also called gastric cancer, is a malignant tumor arising from the lining of the stomach. There has been a significant decrease in the number of people diagnosed with stomach cancer in the past 60 years.

                                                    

                                                         

                                                        

Thyroid cancer: Thyroid cancer is a disease that you get when abnormal cells begin to grow in your thyroid gland.

                                                 

                                           

Vaginal Cancer: Vaginal cancer is a disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the vagina.

What is Oncology ???

The term oncology literally means a branch of science that deals with tumours and cancers. The word “onco” means bulk, mass, or tumor while “-logy” means study.

Now let's gain some knowledge about cancer, because knowledge is the best way to fight with cancer. This is true that cancer is very dangerous disease but if we have basic knowledge of cancer, its symptoms then we can easily protect us and our family very easily.

So I request to all my readers to join hands against the fight with cancer. Having some knowledge about cancer can save our life as well as the life of our dear one's.  So it is very necessary to gain knowledge about cancer. Now the cancer arrives in our mind is that what is cancer??? 

Each of the cells of the body has a tightly regulated system that controls their growth, maturity, reproduction and eventual death. Cancer begins when cells in a part of the body start to grow out of control. There are many kinds of cancer, but they all start because of out-of-control growth of abnormal cells. Today, millions of people are living with cancer or have had cancer. Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States. About one-half of all men and one-third of all women in the US will develop cancer during their lifetimes.

Due to lack of knowledge peoples thinks that it is very dangerous and an abnormal disease. But this is only a myth. 

There are many types of cancer. Some of them are given below:

• Adrenal Cancer
• Anal Cancer
• Bladder Cancer
• Bone Cancer
• Brain/CNS tumors in children and adults
• Breast Cancer 
• Cervical Cancer
• Eye Cancer
• Gallbladder Cancer
• Liver Cancer
• Lung Cancer
• Ovarian Cancer
• Penile Cancer
