Questions and Answers

  • At which stage should I consult an oncology specialist?
    The oncologist is the doctor who manages the treatment of the cancer patient therefore the best time would be when there is absolute proof of a cancerous tumor and an estimation of distribution in the body.
  • What should I bring to the meeting?
    The patient should take part, if possible, in the meeting. As an experienced oncologist I am able to conduct the consultation in a sensitive and appropriate manner. Medical documentation and written material are also important. All documentation the initial diagnosis should be brought. There is great significance in bringing the pathology test results. I advise you to prepare questions and come accompanied by one or more people.

    The meeting can occur without the patient present but I feel it is important for him/her to be present so that they can hear everything first hand from a professional

    For the purpose of consultation for tourists, the required tests will be in coordination with me before their visit. Whoever accompanies the patient will receive (based on preliminary information) a meticulous examination plan with all the information they need before the consultation.
  • Is there a place for complementary medical care with oncological care?
    There are several approaches in regard to complementary medical care as it is not clinically proven. I am supportive of these treatments as an addition to proven and required treatment. Complementary care must be given by trained professionals who are chosen wisely.
