Oncology is the branch of medicine dedicated to the diagnosis, treatment, and management of cancer. Oncologists focus on understanding the biology of tumours and the ways cancer spreads, to provide effective therapies that improve survival and quality of life.
Oncology covers several sub-specialities, including medical oncology (using chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and targeted therapies), surgical oncology (removing tumours through surgery), and radiation oncology (using high-energy radiation to destroy cancer cells). Oncologists also work closely with pathologists, radiologists, and palliative care teams to provide comprehensive care tailored to each patient.
Early detection through screenings, imaging, and biopsies is crucial for effective cancer treatment. Oncologists also support patients in managing side effects, maintaining nutrition, and addressing psychological and emotional needs during therapy. Modern oncology emphasises personalised treatment plans, combining advanced technology and targeted therapies to maximise outcomes.
