Oncology/oncosurgery
Oncology/oncosurgery
Surgical Oncology is a discipline of medicine committed to treating cancer tumours through the means of surgery. Cancer treatment methods include chemotherapy, radiation therapy, surgery, hormone therapy, bone marrow transplant, immunotherapy, targeted drug therapy and more. Traditionally, surgery has been the first line of treatment for cancer.
It’s only in the last century that other treatment avenues like chemotherapy and radiotherapy came into being. Surgical oncology deals with the use of surgical techniques to treat all forms of cancer.
Cancer surgery may not necessarily be the only treatment available for cancer but is generally considered for most forms of cancer. An oncologist would have to consider surgery along with other treatments like chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
