The specialties
Oncology is the branch of medicine that deals with cancers. More than 1 in 5 people develop one before the age of 70, and many patients have to be hospitalized because of cancer. Today, new treatments and therapeutic approaches have led to a significant increase in the number of patients who can recover or live better and longer with the disease. The treatment approach proposed to patients is multidisciplinary and holistic; it is based on the latest advances in oncology research, bringing together all specialties involved in the diagnosis, treatment and research in the field of cancer diseases.
