Oncology and Cancer Care
Oncology is the branch of medicine that focuses on treating cancer. It encompasses the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of cancer patients. Cancer care takes into account both the physical and emotional needs of those affected by the disease. This includes treatments such as surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, and immunotherapy. Oncologists also provide care and support to patients and families throughout the journey of cancer diagnosis and treatment. Oncology and cancer care is an essential part of healthcare and a vital contributor to improved outcomes and quality of life for those affected by cancer.
