A branch of medicine that specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. It includes medical oncology (the use of chemotherapy, hormone therapy, and other drugs to treat cancer), radiation oncology (the use of radiation therapy to treat cancer), and surgical oncology (the use of surgery and other procedures to treat cancer).
Oncology is a specialty that studies and treats malignant tumors. Malignant diseases are generally serious because they can lead to a fatal outcome in the short, medium, or long term. The cure of a cancerous disease will largely depend on early diagnosis and treatment.
An oncologist is a doctor who specializes in diagnosing and treating people who have cancer.
If you have cancer, an oncologist will design a treatment plan based on detailed pathology reports that say what type of cancer you have, how much it has developed, how fast it is likely to spread, and what parts of your body are involved.
Since most cancers are treated with a combination of therapies, you could see several different kinds of oncologists during the course of your treatment.
