What does an oncologic dermatologist do?
Hi everyone! I'm curious about the role of an oncologic dermatologist. How exactly does their work differ from that of a regular dermatologist? #oncology #cancer

Great question! An oncologic dermatologist is a specialized doctor who focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of skin cancers, particularly those that are more aggressive or have spread to other parts of the body. They work closely with other oncologists to provide comprehensive care for their patients. #cancer #healthcare
That's really interesting! Are there any specific treatments that an oncologic dermatologist might use that a regular dermatologist wouldn't? #oncology #cancer
Yes, oncologic dermatologists have access to a wider range of treatments for skin cancer, including immunotherapy and targeted therapy. These treatments can be more effective for certain types of skin cancer, such as melanoma. #cancer #medicalinformation
