Specialties and Sub-Specialties:
ALVARO CASTILLO is a specialist in SURGICAL ONCOLOGY. Other specialties include DIAGNOSTIC RADIOLOGY, and GENERAL SURGERY.
SURGICAL ONCOLOGY: These surgeons remove all types of tumors throughout the body, so there can be overlap with other surgical specialties. For example, a breast tumor could be removed by a surgical oncologist, general surgeon or a gynecologic oncologist (more on them below). These surgeons typically operate on soft-tissue tumors called sarcoma and a type of skin melanoma. (more information)
DIAGNOSTIC RADIOLOGY: Radiologists review and interpret x-rays, CT scans, MRIs, PET scans and other types of imaging tests. However, there are some imaging tests that radiologists typically do not review. Cardiologists usually review their own echocardiograms and stress tests and Ob/Gyns usually review their own ultrasounds. Like Pathologists, Radiologists often do not directly interact with patients. Typically a technician performs the scan for the radiologist to review. (more information)
GENERAL SURGERY: Most surgeons begin their training as general surgeons, then can sub-specialize or stay general surgeons. General surgeons perform gall bladder removals, hernia repairs, and some breast and skin surgery. (more information)
