Oncology surgery is commonly used for the prevention and treatment of cancer and its surgery is also dependent on the growth and spread of the tumor.
Medical oncology has evolved over time with enhanced cancer care. Today's cancer treatment involves a multi-disciplinary treatment regimen for all types of cancer - whether it is solid tumors or blood cancer. The purpose of cancer treatment is to relieve the symptoms, cure the patient, and prolong or save lives. When cancer is diagnosed early, treatment is very effective and patients are usually healthy.
In patients with advanced stage cancer, complete cure is not possible, and the purpose of their treatment is to control the disease, improve the quality of life, and keep the patient as normal and comfortable as possible. Treatment for each patient varies from person to person and depends on a number of factors, such as the patient's age, general condition, type of cancer, and stage of disease.
