Neurologist
The neurologist is actively involved in cancer treatment. Neurology is a scientific discipline that studies the human nervous system. Doctors of this specialty are engaged in the diagnosis and correction of neurological complications, and neuro-oncologists monitor the treatment and follow-up of patients with tumors of the brain and spinal cord. A neurologist will help identify possible disorders of the nervous system that may be associated with the development of cancer and suggest the most effective treatment.
Many patients who undergo antitumor therapy or are under dynamic supervision often face neurological disorders:
- headache;
- facial pain;
- joint and bone pain;
- decreased sensitivity of the skin;
- impaired coordination;
- disorder speech;
- memory impairment and other deviations from the norms of cognitive functions of the brain.
Such neurological complications after surgery or chemotherapy can occur in any patient, and the cause of their manifestation may be both an initial tumor and a metastatic process into bone tissue or the brain. A neurologist will help you cope with such symptoms. Consultation and examination by a neurologist are necessary to prevent their occurrence. The neurologist evaluates the nature of the complications that have arisen, prescribes the necessary examinations and determines the tactics for correcting undesirable manifestations. Schedule a visit to the doctor in order to identify problem areas in time and take appropriate preventive measures.
Specialists of the NMIC of Radiology of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation are receiving patients who need medical support from a neurology specialist at all stages of antitumor treatment. Timely consultation will significantly prevent severe complications. An appointment with specialists of the Federal State Budgetary Institution “NMIC of Radiology” of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation is made by phone +7 (495) 150-11-22 or by phone numbers of the Center’s branches.
Neurologist in the treatment of oncology
Cancer patients need constant supervision by a neurologist for several reasons.
- Patients with tumors of the central nervous system need comprehensive support from doctors of many specialties with a comprehensive examination. Taking into account the specifics of the tumor, the neurologist prescribes a suitable option for the correction of neurological disorders, which is extremely important to maintain the highest possible quality of life.
- Cancer can cause serious neurological symptoms that can progress over time and require additional attention. After the examination and follow-up, the neurologist selects the appropriate supportive therapy to relieve unwanted symptoms.
- For patients with previously suffered neurological diseases, it is necessary to select the optimal treatment option, taking into account the risks. Already during treatment, if undesirable manifestations occur, the neurologist, being part of a multidisciplinary team of doctors, adjusts the therapy regimen taking into account the current condition of the patient.
In addition, the neurologist participates in the medical consultation of patients with a history of diseases such as heart attack, stroke and other pathologies of the central nervous system. Each such clinical case is unique, therefore, the neurological status of the patient should be assessed individually in accordance with the data obtained as a result of the diagnosis.
The neurologist also participates in the provision of palliative care and rehabilitation of patients after the implemented treatment. Rehabilitation measures are prescribed taking into account the completed course of therapy and the current condition. An appointment with the right specialist is made by phone or via feedback form.
