With a focus on patient-centered care, cutting-edge technology, and a multidisciplinary approach, our team is committed to delivering the highest quality of treatment and support throughout your cancer journey.

Oncology is the field of medicine concerned with the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and study of cancer. Cancer is a complex disease characterized by uncontrolled cell growth. These abnormal cells can invade nearby tissues and spread to other parts of the body.

There are many different types of cancer, each with its own cause, symptoms, and treatment options. Some of the most common types of cancer include breast cancer, lung cancer, colon cancer, prostate cancer, and lymphoma.

The four main areas of oncology are:

  1. Medical oncology: Uses medications such as chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and targeted therapy to treat cancer.
  2. Radiation oncology: Uses radiation therapy to kill cancer cells.
  3. Surgical oncology: Uses surgery to remove tumors and other cancerous tissue.
  4. Clinical oncology: Combines surgery, radiation therapy, and medication to treat cancer.
  5. Other important aspects of oncology include:
  6. Pathology: The study of diseases, including cancer, at the cellular level.
  7. Palliative care: The care of patients with advanced cancer who are no longer curable.
  8. Screening: Testing for cancer in healthy people.
  9. Survivorship: The care of cancer survivors.

Oncology is a rapidly evolving field, with new treatments and technologies being developed all the time. As a result, the outlook for cancer patients is improving. However, cancer is still a serious disease, and early diagnosis and treatment are essential for the best chance of a cure.
