still recommended, as are annual
mammograms. And with the aging
population, bone scans are becom-ing
more commonly requisitioned.
Having bone scans every two years,
starting at early menopause, plus
regular cholesterol screening and
keeping tabs on your vitamin D lev-els—
are all good ideas, say doctors
— yes, even in a sun-filled place
like Wilmington.

Oncology
An oncologist is a specialist who deals with cancer in adults. This can
include everything from screening, to diagnosis, to therapy (surgery,
chemotherapy, radiology), through lifelong follow-up. Dr. William
McNulty, an oncologist with Hanover
Medical Specialists, says there’s an
element of old-fashioned medicine
to it. “We have very intense relation-ships
with our patients. There’s a lot
of bonding, a lot of hand holding and
conversation. It’s a very personal sort of
medicine.”
While the standard of care for this
specialty remains rooted in tradition, in
some ways the field is changing dramat-ically.
“There are so many new drugs
being developed for different types of
cancers,” says Dr. McNulty. “We have
ways now of determining which drugs
work best for which cancers.
Treatment is becoming more
individual.”
What has not changed,
however, are the basic facts
about screening. It is extremely
important for people to get
regular colonoscopies. And
women should get routine
mammograms and pap tests. (There is some debate about the efficacy of screening
for prostate cancer.) Dr. McNulty adds: “And beyond getting screened, one of the
most important things you can do is don’t smoke. And if you do smoke, quit.”
