WHAT IS ONCOLOGY?

Oncology is a medical specialty that deals with the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of cancer. It is a multidisciplinary field that combines clinical expertise with cutting-edge treatments such as radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and surgery to treat patients diagnosed with this devastating condition. 

Oncology is also concerned with pain management and palliative care for advanced-stage cancers, as well as providing support to the patient's family. Patients in need of oncology services are typically referred to specialized centers which use advanced diagnostic techniques to develop personalized treatments based on the patient's specific needs. Although cancer can be life-threatening, oncology offers hope and guidance for both patients and their families during a difficult time.

 

WHAT IS HEMATOLOGY?

Hematology is the scientific and clinical study of blood, including its different components such as red and white cells, platelets, and other cellular elements. Medical professionals specializing in hematology are called hematologists and may diagnose or treat various disorders in the blood-forming organs of the body, including diseases of the bone marrow or conditions like thrombocytopenia (low platelets in the body). 

Hematologic abnormalities are often linked to cancers such as leukemia and lymphoma, making this field an essential part of oncology diagnosis. In addition to diagnosing these ailments, hematologists are often responsible for prescribing medication and treatments such as chemotherapy or radiation therapy as well. As a result, hematology plays a crucial role in modern medicine’s battle against bodily illness.
