Assoc. Prof. Dr. Md. Ershadul Haque Helps You With
Many people assume oncology means “chemotherapy only.” In reality, oncology care is broader. Depending on the diagnosis and stage, an oncologist can help with the following:
1) Understanding Reports (Very Common in Bangladesh)
Patients often come with:
- Biopsy or FNAC reports
- CT/MRI/USG results
- Endoscopy/colonoscopy findings
- Tumor marker tests
- Discharge notes and previous prescriptions
An oncologist helps interpret what the reports actually mean, whether anything is missing, and what should be done next. This is especially helpful when reports are from different centers or done at different times.
2) Planning the Right Next Step
Cancer care typically follows a clear pathway:
- Confirm diagnosis (often via biopsy/histopathology)
- Stage the disease (imaging + clinical evaluation)
- Plan treatment (may include surgery / radiotherapy / systemic therapy)
- Follow-up and monitoring
This structured approach helps reduce delays and avoids unnecessary testing. It also helps families understand why a test or treatment is recommended.
3) Treatment Counseling (Patient & Family)
Even after a plan is made, families often need guidance on:
- Expected benefits and possible side effects
- Treatment duration and schedule
- Food and lifestyle guidance (myths vs facts)
- When to seek urgent help (fever, bleeding, dehydration, etc.)
- How to monitor symptoms at home between follow-ups
Clear counseling helps families make informed decisions and reduces panic caused by misinformation.
4) Follow-up Care & Supportive Advice
Follow-up is not “extra”—it is a core part of cancer care. Many complications can be prevented when follow-up is regular. Supportive care can include symptom management advice, nutrition guidance, and practical instructions for when to return earlier than planned.
When Should You See Assoc. Prof. Dr. Md. Ershadul Haque?
Consider an oncology consultation if you or a family member has:
- A biopsy-confirmed cancer and needs treatment planning
- A suspicious lump, swelling, or non-healing ulcer
- Unexplained weight loss with persistent symptoms
- Difficulty swallowing that continues for weeks
- Long-standing cough with blood or ongoing chest symptoms
- Abnormal bleeding (especially post-menopausal bleeding)
- Repeated abnormal imaging results suggesting a tumor
- A need for a second opinion on cancer reports or treatment options
If you are unsure, bring your reports—your first visit can focus on clarity and next steps. If a patient is elderly or very weak, consider bringing a caregiver who can help communicate symptoms and maintain medication records.
Common Cancer Concerns Patients Ask About in Bangladesh (Educational)
Cancer patterns vary by sex and region, but patients commonly seek guidance for concerns related to:
- Breast-related lumps and breast cancer care pathways
- Cervical symptoms and screening guidance
- Oral ulcers or mouth lesions (especially long-standing)
- Lung symptoms and imaging findings
- Gastrointestinal symptoms requiring endoscopy/biopsy review
This profile is not meant to diagnose. It is designed to help you book the right consultation and prepare properly. If you already have a diagnosis, the goal of the visit is often to confirm completeness of staging and align the next steps.
Patient Approach: Clear Communication, Safe Steps
What many patients value in an oncology consultation is clarity. A supportive approach usually includes:
- Explaining the diagnosis in simple language
- Reviewing reports carefully and identifying missing tests (if any)
- Recommending the safest next step without unnecessary delay
- Counseling about side effects and follow-up needs
- Helping families understand timelines and urgency
Cancer care can feel overwhelming. A clear plan helps reduce fear and confusion—especially for families coming from rural areas who may not be able to visit repeatedly within a short time.
How to Prepare for the Visit (Simple, Practical Checklist)
To make the consultation most useful:
- Keep all reports in date order (oldest to newest)
- Write a short symptom timeline: when it started, what changed, what has been tried
- List current medicines (or take clear photos of the medicine strips)
- Note key history: diabetes, blood pressure, kidney/heart disease, allergies
- If you have done treatment elsewhere, bring details of cycles, dates, and doses if available
Tip for families: Write 5–7 questions before the visit. In stressful moments, people often forget what they wanted to ask.
