Oncology is the branch of medicine that researches,
identifies and treats cancer. A physician who works in the field of oncology is
an oncologist.
Oncologists must first diagnose a cancer, which is
usually carried out via biopsy, endoscopy, X-ray, CT scanning, MRI, PET
scanning, ultrasound or other radiological methods. Nuclear medicine can also
be used to diagnose cancer, as can blood tests or tumor markers. Oncology is often linked with hematology,
which is the branch of medicine that deals with blood and blood-related
disorders.
Once a diagnosis is made, the oncologist discusses
disease stage with the patient. Staging will dictate treatment of the cancer.
Chemotherapy — which is defined as the destruction of cancer cells — may be
used, as well as radiation therapy. Surgery is used to remove tumors. Hormone
therapy is used to treat certain types of cancers, and monoclonal antibody
treatments are gaining popularity. Research into cancer vaccines and
immunotherapies is ongoing. Palliative care in
oncology treats pain and other symptoms of cancer.
