Oncology Diseases
Oncology is the medical specialty focused on the diagnosis, treatment, and research of cancer. Cancer occurs when abnormal cells grow uncontrollably and can invade or spread to other parts of the body. Early detection and advanced treatment options are critical to improving survival and quality of life for patients.
Why Oncology Research Is Crucial
Cancer research advances are transforming how cancer is detected, treated, and prevented. Research in oncology aims to:
-
Develop targeted therapies and immunotherapies
-
Improve early detection methods
-
Enhance patient quality of life through supportive care
-
Understand genetic and environmental cancer risk factors
-
Discover new treatment combinations and protocols
Clinical trials provide patients with access to innovative therapies and help shape the future of cancer care.
