The
Significance of Surgical Oncology in India
Surgical oncology is that
field of medical science that is dedicated to the study, diagnosis and
treatment of cancer disease. One of its main research method is doing clinical
trials. This type of trials is related to conducting research on new methods to
cure cancer disease. There are plenty of oncology research clinics all over the
world. All these clinics are registered and checked by the government of their
respective countries. This is done to protect volunteer patients from abuse and
malpractices. While patients sign up waivers against some negative results then
that may arise from the task of testing. The protection of law that the
patients get is sufficient against the harmful results that come due to
incompetence and malpractice.
Normal medical practice
and life insurance might not be able to cover potential problems in case of
alternative cancer surgery. This condition also arises as a result of clinical
trials. Moreover the centralized board of cancer surgery where oncology trials
are registered may safeguard itself against the possibility of the insurance.
To a least done they go over the conditions of the waiver with the volunteers
to point any potential irregularities. If the patients still feel to take on
the risk then this decision is upto them.
With keeping these safety
measures in mind many cancer patients are flocking to oncology clinics to get
volunteered for research. Their reasons are wide and of various kinds. For one
thing while the clinics use treatment methods that are varied from the norms
are used very often by the medical research community. In these clinical trials
the patients get free treatment as compensation because they are being used as
testing samples. For another reason many cancer patients feel that current
oncology treatments are not sufficient and thus they choose to take the risk by
themselves as testing samples in the hope that their clinical trial will be
able to find a way of curing their cancer disease.
