What is Oncology?
Oncology is the branch of medicine that focuses on the study, diagnosis, and treatment of cancer. Cancer occurs when abnormal cells in the body grow and divide uncontrollably, potentially spreading to other organs and tissues. An oncologist is a specialist doctor trained to identify different types of cancer, determine their stage and severity, and recommend appropriate treatment options. Oncology care involves a team of specialists including medical oncologists, surgical oncologists, radiation specialists, pathologists, and supportive care professionals working together to provide the best possible outcome for each patient.
