Oncology is a specialist discipline of medicine that deals with the diagnosis, treatment, and study of cancer.
The term oncology refers to a field of medicine that studies tumors and cancers. The words "onco" and "-
logy" both imply "bulk, mass, or tumor," while "-logy" means "research." Oncologists are doctors that
specialize in treating cancer patients. Cancer therapy entails a variety of medical treatments, necessitating
the involvement of a specialized team. Oncology nurses provide care to cancer patients, acting as their first
point of contact and assisting in the coordination of many parts of their care during their treatment.

 Chemotherapy is a treatment that uses drugs to kill cancer cells. It usually acts by preventing cancer cells
from growing, dividing, or proliferating. Chemotherapy has a greater effect on cancer cells because they
grow and divide quicker than normal cells. Chemotherapy is the treatment of any disease with medication.
Most people, however, associate chemotherapy (or "chemo") with cancer-fighting medications. It's critical to
understand that not all cancer medications and therapies act in the same manner. Traditional or regular
chemo used to be the only treatment that could treat cancer, but now there are many different types of
drugs that can be used to treat cancer. While traditional or standard chemotherapy is still the best way to
treat many cancers, different kinds of drugs may work better for others.

Radiation therapy is a cancer treatment that employs high-energy beams to kill cancer cells. X-rays are
most commonly utilized in radiation therapy, however, protons or other forms of energy can also be used.
External beam radiation therapy is the most common type of radiation therapy. The high-energy beams
come from a machine outside of your body that targets the beams at a particular place on your body during
this sort of radiation. Radiation is delivered within your body during a distinct sort of radiation treatment
called brachytherapy (brak-e-THER-uh-pee).
Radiation therapy damages cells by destroying the genetic material that controls how cells grow and divide.
While both healthy and cancerous cells are damaged by radiation therapy, the goal of radiation therapy is
to destroy as few normal, healthy cells as possible. Normal cells can often repair much of the damage
caused by radiation.
