Oncology
Oncology is the branch of medicine that deals with the prevention, diagnosis, treatment and aftercare of cancer. Oncologists specialise in the care of patients with malignant tumours and use a variety of therapies, including surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and targeted and immunomodulatory treatments, to combat cancer. They work closely with a multidisciplinary team, which may include radiologists, surgeons and palliative care specialists, to develop personalised treatment plans.
