Cancer prevention: Oncologists are specialists who take referrals from primary care/other docs. Best to see your pcp first about any specific physical symptom that bothers you. You may be in good health with no need to worry about cancer. If it's been a year or more since a general physical exam, see your pcp to review your concerns re cancer. There is no known link bet. taking psychotropic meds & cancer. Also see: http://tinyurl.com/d6wcpzx
