    What is an oncologist?         

    An oncologist is a doctor who treats cancer. There are different types of oncologists who focus on specific kinds of treatments. Here are some examples: 

    • Medical oncologists use medications like chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and targeted therapies to fight cancer. 
    • Surgical oncologists perform operations to remove cancerous tumors or tissue. 
    • Radiation oncologists use high-energy radiation to destroy cancer cells. 
    • Pediatric oncologists focus on treating children and teens with cancer. 
    • Geriatric oncologists work with people with cancer who are 65 and older. 
    • Gynecologic oncologists treat cancers in reproductive organs for individuals assigned female at birth. 
    • Hematologist-oncologists treat cancers of the blood, such as leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma. 

    Why am I being referred to an oncologist?     

    You may be referred to an oncologist if your primary care doctor suspects you have cancer or another serious condition that requires specialized treatment. Oncologists are experts in diagnosing and treating cancer, but they also manage other conditions like blood disorders or abnormal cell growths that aren’t cancerous. For example, some people are referred to a hematologist-oncologist for issues with blood cells.  

    What tests are performed by an oncologist? 

    Oncologists use a variety of tests to help diagnose cancer and other serious conditions. These tests help them understand what stage the cancer is in or if the cancer has spread. Common tests include: 

    • Blood tests to check for abnormal cells, proteins, or other markers that might suggest cancer. 
    • Biopsies, where a small tissue sample is taken from a suspected area to check for cancer cells. 
    • Imaging tests like CT scans, MRIs, X-rays, and PET scans, which help oncologists get a detailed picture of what’s happening inside the body.

    What treatments are available to me?   

    The type of treatment you receive depends on the kind of cancer, its stage, and your overall health. Treatment usually begins soon after diagnosis, depending on how quickly care needs to start. Your oncologist will guide you through the different treatment options and help you decide on the best approach. 

    Some common treatments include: 

    The type of treatment you receive depends on the kind of cancer, its stage, and your overall health. Treatment usually begins soon after diagnosis, depending on how quickly care needs to start. Your oncologist will guide you through the different treatment options and help you decide on the best approach. 

    Some common treatments include: 

    • Chemotherapy, which uses drugs to kill cancer cells. 
    • Radiation therapy, which uses high-energy rays to target and destroy cancer cells. 
    • Surgery, where tumors or cancerous tissue are physically removed from the body. 
    • Immunotherapy, which helps boost your immune system to fight cancer. 
    • Targeted therapy, which attacks specific changes in cancer cells that help them grow. 

    When should I see an Oncologist near Elmhurst, IL?

    There are various reasons why you may want to see a specialist, such as: 

    • Your primary care provider recommends it. 
    • Your condition requires expert knowledge and specialized care. 
    • Your symptoms persist or worsen despite treatment. 
    • You need specialized testing or procedures. 
    • You want a second opinion.  

    What should I consider when choosing a Oncologist near Elmhurst, IL?

    It’s important to see a provider with expertise in your specific condition. Each provider profile in MediFind’s doctor database includes information on which conditions they treat, years of experience, research contributions, languages spoken, insurance plans accepted, and more.  

    How does MediFind rank Oncologists near Elmhurst, IL?

    MediFind’s rankings are based on a variety of data sources, such as the number of articles a doctor has published in medical journals, participation in clinical trials and industry conferences, as well as the number of patients that provider sees for a given condition. Note that MediFind’s provider database is not based on user reviews, and providers do not pay to be included in the database. 

    What types of insurance are accepted by Oncologists near Elmhurst, IL?

    Most profiles in MediFind’s doctor database include a list of insurance plans accepted by that provider. However, it’s a good idea to contact the provider’s office to make sure they still accept your insurance, then doublecheck by contacting your insurance plan to confirm they’re in network. 

    How can I book an appointment online with a Oncologist in Elmhurst?

    MediFind offers direct scheduling for certain providers using the “Request Appointment” button on that provider’s profile. If the schedule option is not available for a provider, tap the red “Show Phone Number” button on their profile to get their contact information. If you prefer to find providers who offer online scheduling, select “Schedules online” under the “Availability” category of the filter feature on the left side of the Oncologist search results page. 

    Why is it important to get a second opinion from a different Oncologist?

    Second opinions are an opportunity to confirm a diagnosis and its root cause, learn about alternative treatment options, or simply gain peace of mind. Many people, especially those with serious diagnoses, get second opinions so they can understand all their options and make informed decisions, so don’t hesitate to get one if you have any doubts or need more information or clarification regarding your care. Note that some insurance plans require second opinions, while others don’t cover second opinions, so be sure to confirm with your insurance provider first.   

    How can I prepare for my appointment with a Oncologist near Elmhurst, IL?

    Prepare for your appointment by gathering the following items: 

    • Copies of medical records (dating back at least one year) 
    • Your medical history, including illnesses, medical conditions, surgeries, and other doctors you see 
    • Family history of disease

    What questions should I ask my Oncologist?

    Here are some sample questions: 

    • Can you explain in simple terms what this condition is and how it’s treated? 
    • What symptoms or side effects should I watch for? 
    • What tests will be involved, and when can I expect results? 
    • Are there other specialists I need to see? 
    • What’s the best way to reach you if I have follow-up questions? 

    How can I learn about the latest clinical trials and research advances my Oncologist may know about?

    MediFind’s Clinical Trials tool asks you a series of questions to help you narrow down your search by health condition, age, gender, location, how far you’re willing to travel, and more. Each question you answer filters down the number of trials until you find the ones that are most relevant to you. 

    MediFind’s Latest Advances tool features summaries of recent articles published in medical journals. We use cutting-edge technology to scour medical publication databases for the latest research advancements on any given condition, then we simplify this information in a way that’s useful and easy to understand.
