Oncology is the specialized branch of medicine dedicated to the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of cancer. It encompasses a wide spectrum of care, including medical oncology, surgical oncology, and radiation oncology—each playing a vital role in managing different aspects of the disease.
Oncologists work with a multidisciplinary team to provide personalized treatment plans tailored to the type and stage of cancer, focusing not only on eradicating the disease but also on improving quality of life. With advancements in targeted therapies, immunotherapy, and precision medicine, oncology continues to evolve, offering patients more effective and compassionate care throughout their cancer journey.
