What does an oncodermatologist do and when should you see one
An oncodermatologist specializes in treating skin neoplasms, including malignant tumors and other conditions. You should consult an oncodermatologist if you experience the following symptoms:
- Changes in existing moles, including increases in size, changes in color or shape
- New tumors or lesions on the skin that do not disappear
- Itching, bleeding, or pain in the area of a mole or rash
- Suspicions of skin cancer related to family history
Early consultation with an oncodermatologist is crucial for the timely detection and treatment of skin tumors.
What diagnostic methods does an oncodermatologist use
Oncodermatologists employ various diagnostic methods to assess the condition of the skin and identify pathological changes. The primary methods include:
- Medical history and visual examination of the skin
- Dermatoscopy for detailed analysis of moles and tumors
- Skin biopsy to determine the nature of neoplasms
- Laboratory tests to detect tumor markers (if necessary)
These methods help the doctor in diagnosing the condition and determining the treatment strategy.
What treatment methods does an oncodermatologist use
The treatment methods that an oncodermatologist may use can include:
- Surgical removal of tumors — operations on the skin to remove malignant neoplasms and control their spread.
- Laser therapy — using lasers to remove superficial tumors and correct skin defects.
- Radiotherapy — this may be prescribed in some cases to treat skin cancer.
How a consultation with an oncodermatologist goes
The consultation with an oncodermatologist at the Dobrobut clinic in Kyiv begins with a detailed collection of medical history, during which the doctor discusses the patient's symptoms and complaints. After conducting a visual examination and necessary diagnostic procedures, the doctor can explain possible risks and treatment options, develop an individualized treatment plan, and provide recommendations for further monitoring and prevention.
Patients typically leave the appointment with a clear understanding of their condition and a plan of action.
What questions can you ask the doctor
During your consultation with the oncodermatologist, consider asking the following questions:
- What is causing my symptoms?
- What diagnostic procedures do you plan to conduct?
- What measures are required after treatment?
- How often do I need to undergo follow-up examinations?
- What are the costs for procedures related to diagnosis and treatment?
These questions will help you gain more information about your condition and how to address it.
