About Oncology

Oncology is a branch of science that involves the study of causes, symptoms, treatment of cancer. The main types of oncology are Medical oncology (using Chemotherapy, Immunotherapy), Radiation oncology (using radiations), Surgical oncology (using surgery) to treat cancers.

Scope and importance

Cancer is world’s second disease that causes more number of deaths. More children are being affected and the disease is different from the adults. The persons who are childhood cancer survivors develops either physical or mental health problem because of the treatment they received in their childhood.
