About Oncology
Oncology is a branch of medicine that deals with the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of cancer. A medical professional who practices oncology is an oncologist. The name's etymological origin is the Greek word ὄγκος, meaning "tumor", "volume" or "mass" and the word λόγος, meaning "study".
