Oncology, derived from the Greek word “onkos” meaning mass or tumor, is the branch of medicine concerned with the study, diagnosis, and treatment of benign and malignant tumors. The specialist in this field, the oncologist, plays the principal role in guiding the patient’s treatment course.
The main domains of oncology include:
- Accurate diagnosis of cancer using advanced imaging (MRI, ultrasound, scans), measurement of tumor markers, and targeted biopsy
- Specialty treatment, including surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy, and targeted therapy
- Follow-up and post-treatment care to ensure recovery and prevent recurrence
