Oncology

You should consider visiting an oncologist surgeon when you observe:

• Any changes on the skin, i.e. warts, nodules, ulcers, pigmented moles - especially when they change shape, size, color, cause itching, have a rim
• Nodules palpable or visible under the skin, distorting the outline of the limb, painless, and associated by the patient with an injury
• Breast tumors palpable or visible only in ultrasound or mammography, breast skin deformities, ulcers, changes in the nipple tip, blood discharge from the nipple ducts, asymmetry of the breast glands, thickening of the breast skin in the "orange peel" type, change in the shape of the breast, enlargement of the axillary lymph nodes, supraclavicular, abnormal mammography or breast ultrasound without clinical symptoms
• Enlarged lymph nodes
•  Tumors originating from the thyroid gland that are palpable or only visible on ultrasound

It is worth remembering that neoplastic lesions usually do not cause pain, which makes some patients postpone their visit to the doctor - preventive examinations are the basis for prophylaxis.

Before you visit a oncologist for the first time, it is a good idea to complete the full medical documentation on the problem that requires consultation and results of the current laboratory testing, if held by the patient.

If you have ever had screening tests (X-rays, ultrasound, endoscopic examinations) performed, it is worth taking their results with you so that our specialist can refer to them.

Since the Melita Medical Center is a private facility, you can arrange a visit without having a referral to a oncology surgeon.
