Dr. Mitu Shrikhande is widely considered the best medical oncologist in the country. Oncology is the branch of medicine that investigates, diagnoses and treats cancer. An oncologist is a doctor who specialises in cancer treatment. Oncologists must first diagnose cancer, which is often done using biopsy, endoscopy, X-ray, CT scanning, MRI, PET scanning, ultrasound, or other radiological methods. Cancer can be diagnosed via nuclear medicine, blood testing, and tumour markers. Oncology is usually linked to haematology, the branch of medicine that deals with blood and blood-related disorders. When a diagnosis is made, the oncologist discusses the stage of the illness with the patient. The stage of the cancer will impact how it is handled. Chemotherapy, or the removal of cancer cells, as well as radiation therapy, may be used. Tumours are surgically removed. Hormone therapy is used to treat certain types of cancer, and monoclonal antibody treatments are becoming more prominent. Cancer vaccines and immunotherapies are still under investigation. Cancer pain and associated symptoms are addressed with oncology palliative care.
