Oncology is a division of medicine dealing with tumors. The job of oncologists is to diagnose cancer in a patient, administer therapy, follow up with patients after treatment, be involved in palliative care with terminal cancer, explore ethical questions regarding cancer care, and screening efforts.Diagnosing cancer in a patient includes medical history, understanding symptoms, and a physical examination which may reveal the location of the problem. Other methods include biopsy, endoscopy, x-rays, CT scans, MRI scans, ultrasound, scintigraphy, and blood tests.
Therapy and treatments include surgery to remove the tumor, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, hormone manipulation, antibody treatments, vaccines, immunotherapy, and in terminal cases, palliative treatment.
