onkologií

Onkologie is the branch of medicine that deals with the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of cancer. It encompasses a wide range of medical specialties and approaches, including medical oncology, surgical oncology, radiation oncology, and others. Medical oncologists are physicians who specialize in treating cancer using chemotherapy, hormone therapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy. Surgical oncologists perform surgery to remove tumors and surrounding tissues, and to diagnose cancer and determine its stage. Radiation oncologists use radiation therapy to treat cancer. The field also includes research into the causes and development of cancer, as well as the discovery and testing of new treatments. Early detection and screening play a crucial role in improving outcomes, and oncologists work with patients to develop personalized treatment plans based on the specific type and stage of cancer, as well as the patient's overall health. The ultimate goal of oncology is to improve the survival rates and quality of life for cancer patients.
