      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.

      Most profiles in MediFind’s doctor database include a list of insurance plans accepted by that provider.

      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 Fairfax, VA?

      • Family history of disease 
      • List of current prescription drugs, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal remedies or supplements including names and doses 
      • Allergies to medications, food, latex, insects, etc.  
      • List of questions and concerns 
      • Your insurance card 

      You might also contact the provider’s office to see if they offer transportation or childcare services or if you’re allowed to bring a loved one for support or to take notes during your visit. 

      What questions should I ask my Oncologist?

      Here are some sample questions:

      • 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?
