Frequently asked questions
Can MedDroid explain my biopsy or pathology report?
Yes — it translates the terms into plain language and what they generally mean. It is educational, not a diagnosis; your oncologist interprets it fully.
What is the difference between oncology and haematology?
Oncology treats cancers of organs; haematology treats blood disorders and blood cancers (like leukaemia). They often work together.
