what is oncology?


Oncology is the field of medicine that deals with all benign and malignant types of tumors and cancers. Accordingly, oncologists specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of tumor diseases, whereby doctors from very different fields can be oncologists in the broader sense.

Oncology is the science of tumor diseases, said Dr. Daniel Pink, Chief Physician of the Clinic for Hematology, Oncology and Palliative Medicine, Sarcoma Center Berlin-Brandenburg in the Helios Clinic Bad Saarow . The term is derived from the Greek word for swelling / tumor and also from the Greek suffix . This stands for the science or the teaching of a particular subject.


What is an oncologist and what is his job?


An oncologist is a doctor who specializes in cancer. He is more than just a person who prescribes chemotherapy or other treatments to cure or control cancer. Oncologists are doctors who, as part of a holistic concept, help cancer patients to live as long and as well as possible.

An oncologist job includes advising you on chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or surgery, but that not all.

An oncologist is a care coordinator who works as part of a larger team made up of medical, caregiver, and other health care providers who care for the well-being of cancer patients. By developing a relationship with your oncologist, you will have the opportunity to leverage the skills, knowledge and professional connections of the entire team to help you and your family better cope with the challenges of serious cancer.


The areas of responsibility of oncology:
Oncology, in the sense of a superordinate generic term for the entire care of tumor patients, comprises a large number of areas of responsibility that are covered by increasingly specialized disciplines. The resulting, closely coordinated, good cooperation is a decisive prerequisite for the best possible therapy for tumor patients. At Helios, we use the interdisciplinary tumor conferences for this purpose. In these, we work closely with the experts from other specialist departments at the hospital and the resident doctors.

Our common goal is to get a comprehensive view of the illness of each individual patient and to coordinate the next best possible treatment steps that are individually tailored to him explains Dr. Pink. He adds: The well-established, all of them Networks covering aspects with a clear distribution of tasks, such as in certified oncological centers, are a very good basis.
