Introduction to Oncology & Onco Surgery Treatments
Oncology is the branch of medicine that specializes in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of cancer. Oncologists are medical professionals who focus on understanding the biology of cancer, developing treatment plans, and providing supportive care to patients. Onco surgery refers to the surgical interventions used to remove tumors and affected tissues. Treatments in oncology can be surgical or non-surgical, aimed at eradicating cancer, controlling its spread, and improving the quality of life for patients.
