Medical oncology focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of cancer using medicines and other non-surgical approaches. A patient may be referred to an oncologist after an abnormal scan, biopsy, or laboratory finding raises concern about cancer. Treatment decisions depend on the type of cancer, its stage, the patient's general health, and previous therapy.

Cancer treatment can include chemotherapy, targeted medicines, immunotherapy, hormonal treatment, or a combination of approaches. For example, a patient with breast cancer may receive drug-based treatment before or after surgery depending on the clinical situation. Regular follow-up helps monitor treatment response and possible side effects.
