Neoplasm treatment in Benito Juárez

A neoplasm is an abnormal growth of tissue that forms when cells multiply in an uncontrolled way. It can be benign, when it stays localized, or malignant, when it has the ability to invade neighboring tissues; the term covers a very broad group of situations.

Signs to watch for: they depend on the location, but may include noticeable lumps, changes in an organ, unexplained weight loss, or discomfort that does not ease.

When should you see a doctor? Any new growth, persistent one, or one that changes over time deserves a professional evaluation.

Which specialist treats it? The radiation oncologist and the radiation therapist take part in the approach to certain neoplasms through specialized techniques, within a broader team. When there is a suspicion, the most sensible thing is to consult in order to define the appropriate workup.
