Dr. Reza Shirazi answered

Specializes in Radiation Oncology

Primary Care: I would start with, your primary care physician. Cancer screening and alleviating some more most of your concerns may be best addressed by discussing your symptoms, and risk factors with your primary care physician. Appropriate diagnostic workup, screening, and referrals to specialists can be made thereafter.

Dr Pappas and another doctor agreed
