How does an oncologist's consultation work?

The appointment of an oncologist at a medical center consists of the following key steps:

  1. oncologist consultations;
  2. cancer diagnostics;
  3. treating diseases.

During the initial consultation with an oncologist, the doctor speaks with the patient, collects an anamnesis, finds out the details of the onset and development of symptoms. He examines the patient's medical documents and clarifies all the details of his state of health. This requires data from past examinations, as well as extracts from hospitalizations (if any). If you have information carriers with MRI and CT scans in your hands, then they, along with the conclusions, must be taken to the appointment. When collecting an anamnesis, the specialist will form a vision and draw up a plan for additional examination or treatment. At the initial consultation, oncologists of our "K+31" center can prescribe laboratory tests, hardware examinations, diagnostic procedures such as a biopsy or puncture to determine the presence or absence of a tumor, as well as to assess its parameters, location and other characteristics. In controversial issues, an oncologist can convene a council of doctors to get a second opinion or consider the problem from different angles. Oncoconsilium and second opinion services are also provided in our center.

Repeated consultation of the oncologist is appointed after passing all the scheduled examinations. The doctor examines the results and, if necessary, makes a diagnosis. Based on the test results, if cancer or other oncological problems are detected, the oncologist develops a treatment plan, during which he monitors changes in the patient's condition, controls and modifies the process.

Diagnosis of tumor diseases

  • Examining the patient. It is the primary stage of the diagnostic process, which is carried out during the consultation. The oncologist examines the skin, oral cavity, performs palpation of the peripheral lymph nodes, thyroid gland, abdomen, and auscultates the heart and lungs.
  • Laboratory diagnostic method. It will help to assess the general condition of peripheral blood and determine the number of its most important components. At this stage, conditions such as anemia, thrombocytopenia, leukopenia can be detected. It is important to determine the exact level of tumor markers. Before treatment, it is necessary to evaluate the functions of the kidneys, liver and the level of protein fractions.
  • Ultrasound diagnostics. It is carried out on modern certified devices that allow you to accurately determine the condition of the examined organs.
  • Magnetic resonance and computed tomography. Experienced radiologists are able to understand even the most difficult situations.
  • The X-ray machine, which has the function of fluoroscopy, helps to effectively examine the patency of the intestines, stomach and esophagus. And endoscopic devices, created by the Japanese company Pentax, allow you to perform the full range of required biopsies and endoscopic examinations, to conduct a biopsy of the thyroid gland, a biopsy of the cervix and other organs and tissues.
