Gynecological Oncology

Oncology is the study of cancer. An oncologist is a doctor who treats cancer and provides medical care to people who have been diagnosed with it. Oncology is divided into three major categories: medical, surgical, and radiation. A medical oncologist treats cancer with chemotherapy or other medications such as targeted therapy or immunotherapy. During surgery, a surgical oncologist removes the tumour and nearby tissue. A gynecologic oncologist treats uterine, ovarian, and cervical cancers. A paediatric oncologist is a doctor who specialises in the treatment of cancer in children. Some cancers are most common in children and teenagers.
