About Oncology
Oncology is a specialized branch of medicine focused on the diagnosis, treatment, and long-term management of cancer, including solid tumors and blood-related cancers. Effective cancer care requires a multidisciplinary approach, combining medical oncology (chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy), surgical oncology, and radiation oncology, based on the cancer type, stage, and patient condition.
