Targeted Therapies and Support for Cancer Treatment
About Oncology
Oncology is the branch of medicine focused on the study, diagnosis, and treatment of cancer. It involves understanding different types of cancers, their causes, and how they grow or spread in the body. Cancer includes many different conditions, such as cancers of the breast, lungs, skin, and digestive system, among others. Each type can vary in symptoms and severity.
Treatment options in oncology depend on the type and stage of cancer but may include surgery, medications, or therapies designed to remove, shrink, or control the growth of cancer. These approaches often aim to improve the quality of life and outcomes for patients.
These oncology medications can be used to treat multiple cancer types and may be used individually or in combination.
