Haemato-Oncology

What is Oncology?

Oncology is a medical speciality focused on diagnosing and treating cancer using methods like chemotherapy, radiation therapy, surgery, and targeted therapies. Oncologists manage all stages of cancer care, guiding patients through diagnosis, treatment, and recovery. They recommend personalized treatment plans, explain options and potential side effects, oversee treatment, and provide post-treatment care to monitor recovery and prevent recurrence.

What is Haematology?

Haematology is the branch of medicine focused on the study of blood, blood-forming organs, and related disorders. Hematologists specialize in diagnosing and treating diseases affecting the blood and its components, such as blood cells and bone marrow. Common conditions include anemia, hemophilia, infections, blood clotting disorders, and blood cancers like leukemia. Haematology tests are essential for diagnosing these conditions and managing blood disorders effectively.

What is Hepatology?

Hepatology is a medical specialty focused on diagnosing, treating, and managing diseases affecting the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, and biliary tract. It is a subspecialty of gastroenterology targeting liver-related conditions such as hepatitis, cirrhosis, liver cancer, and complications from alcohol abuse. Hepatologists also manage gallbladder and pancreas disorders critical to digestion and metabolism.

Diagnosis and Tests

Oncology Diagnosis

Physical Exam: Checking for lumps or abnormalities, such as changes in skin color or organ enlargement.

Laboratory Tests: Analyzing blood or urine samples to detect abnormalities, like unusual white blood cell counts in leukemia.

Imaging Tests: Noninvasive techniques like CT scans, MRI, PET scans, ultrasound, and X-rays to visualize internal organs and bones.

Biopsy: Collecting and testing a sample of cells to diagnose cancer definitively.
