The Oncologists' Role:

Explaining the cancer diagnosis and stage (a description of where the
cancer is located, if or where it has spread, and whether it is affecting other
parts of the body) to the patient.
Discussing all of the treatment options and recommending the best course
of treatment.
Delivering high-quality, compassionate care.
Helping maintain the patient's quality of life by managing cancer-related
pain and other symptoms or treatment side effects, such as constipation,
nausea and vomiting, and fatigue.

In addition to cancers of the skin, some internal cancers can provide visible skin signs
such as darkening (hyperpigmentation), yellowing ( jaundice), reddening (erythema),
and itching or excessive hair growth.

Sterilization, to alleviate patient pain, to preserve skeletal integrity, to stop excessive
bleeding.

It works by interrupting cell growth and division in general. Different agents interact
with the cell and its DNA in different ways. While the particular form of chemotherapy
that is administered is selected for its activity against a specific cancer, most drugs
also interrupts normal cell growth and division.
The human body processes and excretes all drugs given through either the liver or
the kidneys. Therefore, when a patient has a liver or kidney damage, giving
chemotherapy becomes dangerous.

It is departure from normal function or feeling which is noticed by a patient, indicating
the presence of disease or abnormality. A symptom is subjective, observed by the
patient, and not measured. It is indication of disease, illness, injury, or that something
is not right in the body, they are felt or noticed by the patient himself, but may not be
noticed by anyone else. It can more simply be defined as any feature which is noticed
by patient. A sign is noticed by other people. It is not necessarily the nature of the
sign or symptom which defines it, but who observes it.

2 Types of Neoplasm:

, Benign Tumor
Malignant Tumor
When cells in a part of the body begin to grow out of control, grow then divide, and
instead of dying, they outlive normal cells and continue to form new abnormal cells.
Cancer is a class of diseases in which a group of cells display uncontrolled growth,
invasion that intrudes upon and destroy adjacent tissues, and sometimes metastasis,
or spreading to other locations in the body via lymph or blood.
