Frequently Asked Questions

Medical oncology is a branch of medicine that specializes in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of cancer. Medical oncologists use chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, immunotherapy, and targeted therapy to treat cancer, often in conjunction with surgery and radiation therapy.

A medical oncologist assesses cancer patients, determines the type and stage of cancer, devises treatment plans, administers systemic therapies (such as chemotherapy), monitors patient progress, manages side effects, and provides supportive care. They also coordinate care with other specialists and participate in clinical research.

Medical oncologists treat a wide range of cancers, including but not limited to breast cancer, lung cancer, colorectal cancer, prostate cancer, ovarian cancer, leukemia, lymphoma, melanoma, and pancreatic cancer.

Medical oncology focuses on the treatment of cancer with medications (chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, and hormone therapy). Surgical oncology involves the surgical removal of tumors, while radiation oncology uses radiation therapy to destroy cancer cells. These specialties often work together to provide comprehensive cancer care.

Common treatments include:

  • Chemotherapy: Use of drugs to kill or stop the growth of cancer cells.
  • Immunotherapy: Boosting the body's immune system to fight cancer.
  • Targeted Therapy: Drugs that specifically target cancer cell mechanisms.
  • Hormone Therapy: Blocking hormones that fuel certain cancers (e.g., breast and prostate cancer).

Treatment plans are based on several factors, including the type and stage of cancer, genetic markers, the patient’s overall health, previous treatments, and patient preferences. Diagnostic tests, including biopsies, imaging, and molecular profiling, help tailor the most effective treatment approach.
