Finding the right doctor is crucial to any treatment process, especially when it comes to oncology specialists. Oncology is referred to the study and treatment of tumors. The three major kinds of oncology specialties include medical, surgical, and radiation. While medical oncologists use non-surgical methods to treat the tumors, like targeted therapy etc., surgical oncologists, as the name suggests, surgically remove the tumor and its surrounding tissues and radiation oncologists use radiation therapy to treat them.
While most cancerous tumors can be treated with the above mentioned methods, sometimes more severe radiation, chemotherapy is required to treat the tumor- this is decided depending upon the progression of the disease in the patient.
Throat cancer, is one such disease. When caught early, it can be cured with a combination of surgery and radiation. Unfortunately, lack of awareness leads to late diagnoses in a large number of cases, which can prove fatal for patients. The important thing to remember is to abstain from smoking, drinking and polluted environments. The second is to look out for symptoms and get them checked by a professional as soon as possible.
Mahesh Dua, had a chronic cough, that had him worried. Despite his protests, his family forced him to see a doctor who asked him about other symptoms. After speaking to Mahesh, his doctor asked him to get a couple of tests done that revealed stage-I cancer. Unsure of their best options, the Dua family got in touch with Credihealth and asked us to find a credible surgical oncologist in Kolkata. We gave them 3 options and they asked us to fix an appointment with one of them. Mahesh is having is surgery tomorrow and is optimistic about his recovery.
