You should consider consulting a cancer specialist or an oncologist under the following circumstances:

  • Suspicion or diagnosis of Cancer: If you or your loved one has received a cancer diagnosis or if there are signs and symptoms that may suggest cancer, it is important to seek the expertise of an oncologist.
  • Abnormal Screening Results: If you have undergone cancer screening tests, for example mammograms, Pap smears, colonoscopies, or PSA tests, and the results indicate abnormalities, it is advisable to consult a cancer specialist for further evaluation.
  • Treatment Options: If you have been diagnosed with cancer and need to explore treatment options, an oncologist will be able to discuss the most appropriate therapies based on your specific diagnosis and medical history.
  • Second Opinion: If you have already received a cancer diagnosis or treatment plan from another medical professional, seeking a second opinion from an oncologist can provide additional perspectives and ensure you are making informed decisions.
  • Follow-Up Care: If you are a cancer survivor and need ongoing monitoring, follow-up care, or surveillance to detect any potential recurrence or manage long-term effects of treatment, an oncologist can provide comprehensive care.
