Oncológiai

Oncológiai is the Slovak term for oncology, the branch of medicine that deals with the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of cancer. It encompasses a wide range of cancers affecting various parts of the body. Oncologists are medical doctors who specialize in this field. They are responsible for determining the best course of treatment for cancer patients, which may include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, or a combination of these methods. Oncology also involves research into the causes of cancer, the development of new diagnostic tools, and the creation of more effective and less toxic treatments. The field is constantly evolving with advancements in molecular biology and genetic research leading to more personalized approaches to cancer care. Palliative care is also an important aspect of oncology, focusing on relieving the symptoms and improving the quality of life for patients with cancer.
