therapeutic oncology

Therapeutic oncology is the branch of medicine focused on treating cancer. It involves various methods to eliminate cancer cells and improve patient outcomes, including chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, and targeted therapy. These treatments aim to shrink tumors, reduce cancer symptoms, and prevent the disease from spreading. Oncologists, the doctors who specialize in this field, tailor treatment plans to individual patients based on the cancer type, stage, and overall health. The goal is to achieve the best possible survival rates and quality of life for patients facing cancer.
