Oncology
Oncology is the field of medicine that deals with the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of cancer. The field of Oncology includes Medical Oncology (the use of chemotherapy, hormone therapy, immunotherapy, stem cell and bone marrow transplants), Radiation Oncology, and Surgical Oncology. Because there are many different types of cancer, Medical Oncologists, Radiation Oncologists, and Surgical Oncologists sub-specialize in the treatment of specific types and sub-types of cancer, and it is crucial that specialists in all three of these areas work closely and collaboratively together in order to assure complete care of each patient.
