Oncology
Cancer is one of today’s pandemics. Cancer disease is increasing in the world and especially in our country. Cancer ranks second among life-threatening diseases. It should be approached in a multidisciplinary manner. In diagnosing cancer and developing its treatment, more than one department should work together and be a team. This medical team should include specialist surgeons, oncologists, radiation oncologists, radiologists, medical geneticists, and experts from all other relevant branches. Oncology, as a word origin, means tumor science.
The department of medical oncology provides the planning and follow-up of chemotherapy applications, especially in cancer treatment. In particular, chemotherapy drugs are used today to reduce the size of the tumor before surgery, to protect it, and before radiotherapy. Chemotherapy is aimed to make the daily life of the person comfortable. Chemotherapy approaches are specially planned according to the needs of the patient, and supportive therapies such as hormone therapy, targeted smart molecules, immunotherapies are also used in addition to chemotherapy.
Cancer is a multifaceted disease. It fundamentally affects a person’s life and body and changes his life and standards. The treatment required for a person with cancer should be individually planned. In this planned treatment, first of all, tumor-oriented treatment should be provided with chemotherapy applications, and the immune system should be supported with immunotherapy and it should be ensured to fight cancer. At the same time, symptomatic treatments, and pain treatments should be done and the patient’s living standards should be increased. Healthy nutrition should be provided with the help of nutrition and dietetic units. In addition to all these, the mental well-being of the patient should be supported with psychological support. All these treatment methods and supportive treatments should reduce the effects and symptoms of the disease.
