Oncology

Oncology

Treatment plans are often multidisciplinary, involving surgeons, medical oncologists, radiation specialists, pathologists, and support teams such as dietitians and palliative care. Hospitals with integrated cancer centers also offer advanced tools like PET-CT scanners, linear accelerators, brachytherapy, and bone marrow transplant units .

Oncology is the medical specialty dedicated to diagnosing, treating, and researching cancer. It typically involves multiple branches:

• Medical Oncology: Chemotherapy, targeted therapies, immunotherapy, hormonal treatments
• Surgical Oncology: Removing tumors, often alongside reconstructive or minimally invasive techniques
• Radiation Oncology: Using high-energy radiation to destroy cancer cells
