What Is Oncology?

Oncology

 

Oncology; It is a science that examines the formation, causes, diagnosis, treatment and heredity of tumors in the body. It examines non-cancerous cells as well as cancer cells. This extends the branches of oncology's interest. Medical oncology, which examines the applications of chemotherapy, which means the treatment of cancer with drugs, also examines the applications of cancer prevention, cancer screening and early diagnosis.
Oncology, which is basically expressed as a branch of science, examines cells. Namely, it is based on the investigation of many situations, from the formation of cancerous cells to their relationship with heredity. Basically, it is the branch of examination of tumors in the body.

Diseases of the Oncology Field
As we mentioned above, the examination of cancerous cells is based. In this sense, cancer immunology takes the lead among oncology diseases. Then comes lung cancer. Except those;
Breast Cancer
Bladder Cancer
Gastric Cancer
Skin Cancer
Brain tumors are also included. At first, the reasons for the formation of cancerous cells or tumors are examined. Diagnosis and treatment stages are passed. At the same time, whether it is related to participation or not is revealed as a result of the examinations. In the continuation of all these stages, chemotherapy applications are started.

What is Medical Oncology?
Examination of patients in the field of oncology is based on the appearance of symptoms. At this stage, medical oncology comes into play for cancer screening. Only procedures for cancer screening are not included. At the same time, medical oncology;
Analyzes chemotherapy applications.
It also examines cancer prevention practices.
Serious studies have been carried out on early diagnosis applications.

What are the Sub-branches of Oncology?
Those who look at the symptoms of bladder cancer should visit the oncology branch and benefit from early diagnosis opportunities. At this stage, different branches of oncology enter the stage, both for women and men. For example, gynecological oncology; examines cancer cells for the female reproductive organ. Pediatric oncology studies cancer cells in children. Except those;
Medical Oncology
Radiation Oncology
Surgical Oncology

Oncology Department and Doctors

Many types of cancer from stomach to bladder; applications for diagnosis and treatment are included. Doctors are also referred to as 'oncologists'.

What is Radiotherapy?
Cell examinations take place in the branch of oncology. In particular, treatment stages are expressed as a result of the formation of cancerous cells. In the first place, the application of radiotherapy is taken as a basis. Radiotherapy, which is a special type of energy, is applied to end cancerous cells. In fact, it is applied not only for cancer but also for several serious diseases. In other words, it is expressed as radiation therapy. The rays have the power to kill cells. At the same time, the initial stages of cancer are applied to prevent them from multiplying. As a matter of fact, if it multiplies and disperses, the stage of the cancer increases.
