Medical Oncology

Medical oncology is a branch of medicine that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of cancer using non-surgical methods, such as:

​

1. Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy is a type of cancer treatment that uses drugs to kill cancer cells or stop them from growing and dividing. The use of chemotherapy depends on the type of cancer, its stage, and the patient's overall health. Chemotherapy may be used alone or in combination with other cancer treatments, such as surgery, radiation therapy, or immunotherapy.

​

2. Immunotherapy

A type of cancer treatment that works by using the body's own immune system to fight cancer.

​

3. Targeted Therapy

Targeted therapy is a type of cancer treatment that uses drugs or other substances to specifically target cancer cells.

​

4. Hormonal Therapy

Hormonal therapy, also known as endocrine therapy, is a type of cancer treatment that works by blocking or interfering with the hormones that help some types of cancer cells grow. Hormonal therapy is often used to treat hormone receptor-positive breast cancer and prostate cancer, as well as other types of cancer that are influenced by hormones.
