Oncology (Clinical)

Clinical oncology is a specialised field of medicine focused on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of cancer. It encompasses various treatment modalities, including chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and radiotherapy, but excludes surgical interventions. The primary goal of clinical oncology is to provide comprehensive care to cancer patients, improving their quality of
life and treatment outcomes.

Oncologists, the medical professionals in this field, work closely with patients to develop personalised treatment plans based on the type and stage of cancer, as well as the patient's overall health. They also play a crucial role in coordinating care among different specialists and ensuring that patients receive the most effective therapies available.
