- Helpful Answers
Frequently asked questions
When should I consult an oncologist?
You should consult an oncologist after an abnormal cancer screening, suspicious lump, concerning scan, confirmed biopsy result or when cancer treatment has been recommended.
Does every cancer patient require chemotherapy?
No. Treatment depends on the cancer type, stage, biological features and overall health. Some patients may require surgery, radiation therapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy or hormonal therapy instead.
What tests are required before cancer treatment?
Tests may include blood investigations, imaging scans, biopsy review, molecular testing and organ-function assessments. These help the oncologist select a safe and suitable treatment plan.
What are the common side effects of chemotherapy?
Side effects vary according to the medicines used and may include nausea, fatigue, appetite changes, hair loss or reduced immunity. Your care team will provide medicines and guidance to manage them.
What is the difference between chemotherapy and targeted therapy?
Chemotherapy affects rapidly dividing cells, while targeted therapy acts on specific features or changes within certain cancer cells. Suitability depends on the cancer’s characteristics.
How often will I need follow-up after cancer treatment?
The follow-up schedule depends on the cancer type, stage and treatment received. Regular visits may include examinations, blood tests and imaging to monitor recovery and detect recurrence.
