Oncology
The medical specialty that addresses cancer prevention, diagnosis, and treatment is called oncology. Physicians who focus on treating cancer are known as oncologists. They collaborate closely with surgeons, radiologists, pathologists, and other medical specialists to create comprehensive treatment plans for their patients. Treatments for cancer can take many different forms, such as immunotherapy, targeted therapy, hormone therapy, surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and stem cell transplants. The patient's overall health, their personal preferences, and the type and stage of their cancer all play a role in the treatment decision.
