Oncology & Radiology
Oncology is a medical field focused on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of cancer. As one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide, cancer requires a multifaceted approach that includes medical, surgical, and radiation therapies. Oncologists are at the forefront of developing innovative treatments and therapeutic strategies aimed at improving survival rates and the quality of life for patients.

Radiology, on the other hand, plays a critical role in oncology by providing essential imaging techniques for the accurate diagnosis and staging of cancer. Advances in imaging technologies, such as MRI, CT scans, and PET scans, have enhanced the ability to detect tumors at earlier stages and assess treatment responses. Integrating radiology into oncology is essential for accurate treatment planning and ongoing monitoring.
