Answer:

Oncology, in the easiest term is the medical study of tumours, the abnormal growth of tissue. The study is to determine whether a tumour is benign or malignant. The term is used more often in medical science as the study of cancer. An oncologist is a doctor who diagnoses with cancer, treats cancer and provides medical care for the patients with cancer.

There are three branches of oncology and three groups of oncology doctors who deal with three different methods of treating cancer.

  1. A medical oncologist treats cancer using chemotherapy or other medications by oral or intravenous medicines.
  2. A surgical oncologist removes the tumor and nearby cancerous malignant tissues through surgery.
  3. A radiation oncologist treats cancer using radiation therapy.
