Oncologists in Pretoria

Oncologists in Pretoria generally manage a wide range of cancers, including breast, lung, prostate, colorectal, cervical and blood cancers such as leukaemia and lymphoma. The specific focus may vary between practitioners, with some concentrating on medical oncology (systemic treatments like chemotherapy), others on radiation oncology, or surgical oncology.

A first consultation usually involves a detailed discussion of your medical history, symptoms and any existing test results, scans or biopsy reports. The oncologist may order further investigations to confirm a diagnosis or stage a cancer, and will discuss possible treatment pathways. It is helpful to bring referral letters and copies of any previous medical records to this appointment.

Many medical aid schemes and specialists require a referral letter from a general practitioner or another specialist before an oncology consultation can be scheduled. It is advisable to confirm referral requirements with your medical aid and the specific practice beforehand.
