An oncologist is a physician specialized in diagnosing and treating various types of cancer. Their main goal is to provide comprehensive medical care to patients with this disease.
The oncologist evaluates symptoms, performs diagnostic tests, and establishes a personalized treatment plan that may include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or other specific cancer-fighting treatments.
Additionally, the oncologist provides emotional support and long-term follow-up, working together with a multidisciplinary team to offer the best possible care to patients and improve their quality of life.
