Remote oncologist consultation
Remote consultations of oncologists are usually in demand among those patients who cannot go to the clinic for health reasons, do not have enough money or have other reasons.
Moreover, in most cases, patients are interested in conversations with foreign specialists.
Often, in order to receive an oncologist's correspondence consultation, the patient needs to send copies of all medical documents to the e-mail address of the clinic he is interested in: extracts, doctors' reports, descriptions of studies, and others.
What are the benefits of remote consultations?
Remote consultations with oncologists are necessary for the patient in cases where he has difficulties in treating the disease or needs advice about the prescribed treatment. A second opinion from an independent specialist can reassure the patient and dispel his doubts, or, on the contrary, draw attention to some controversial points in the treatment or tell about additional opportunities.
The patient can also remotely clarify all the information he needs about new treatment methods that are not available in his country.
Techniques such as immunotherapy or hormone therapy are not widely developed in Russia, but a foreign oncologist will be able to talk about them in detail.
In addition, specialists can remotely tell the patient about the pros and cons of a particular technique, about the features of rehabilitation after a possible operation. Remote consultation with an oncologist is also recommended for those patients who want to go for treatment abroad. This way they will be able to get to know their doctor beforehand.
Advantages
Remote consultation of an oncologist is becoming more and more popular among many patients every year. There are several reasons for this:
- it is very comfortable. The patient can get answers to all his questions without leaving home;
- This significantly reduces the cost of flights, accommodation and meals;
- Communication takes place anonymously and confidentially, which is extremely important for some patients.
