What is Oncology?

Oncology is the medical specialty that pertains to the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of cancer. The term oncology literally means study of mass or tumor in Greek. Similarly, an oncologist is a physician who treats cancer and is responsible for the provision of treatment to anyone that has been diagnosed with cancer.

Oncology typically has three major areas- medical, surgical and radiation. A patient's tumor size is reduced and his side effects are mitigated via medicine and radiation. After the tumor size has sufficiently reduced, it is cut off and removed from the body surgically.
