What is Medical Oncology?
Medical oncology is the branch of medicine focused on diagnosing, treating, and managing cancer using medications like chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and targeted therapies. As a cornerstone of cancer care, medical oncologists play a vital role in coordinating comprehensive treatment plans, collaborating with surgeons and radiation specialists, and supporting patients throughout their cancer journey.

Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy uses powerful drugs to target and kill rapidly dividing cancer cells throughout the body. These treatments can be tailored with a variety of drugs designed to treat specific cancer types, often combined for maximum effectiveness.
Immunotherapy
Immunotherapy boosts the body’s immune system to identify and destroy cancer cells. By enhancing natural defenses, it provides a revolutionary approach to treating cancers that may not respond to traditional therapies.
Targeted Therapy
Targeted therapy focuses on specific genes, proteins, or cellular processes that fuel cancer growth. This precision approach minimizes harm to healthy cells while effectively disrupting cancer progression.
Hormonal Therapy
Hormonal therapy is used to treat cancers driven by hormones, such as breast and prostate cancer. By blocking or lowering hormone levels, it slows or stops the growth of hormone-sensitive tumors.
Precision Medicine
Precision medicine uses genetic testing to develop personalized treatment plans based on an individual’s unique genetic makeup. This approach ensures therapies are tailored for maximum efficacy with fewer side effects.
Supportive Care in Medical Oncology
Supportive care addresses side effects and improves quality of life during cancer treatment. From managing pain and fatigue to providing emotional support, it complements main therapies and helps patients maintain their well-being.
