Oncology is a branch of medicine that involves the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of cancer.

Tumours grow very rapidly and interfere with the digestive, nervous, and circulatory systems and release hormones that fluctuate function of body. Cancer is the major causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide and accounts for nearly 1 of every 4 deaths in US.  Some of the tumour cell does not spread all over the body but they grow uncontrollably like benign tumour. Normal or healthy cell controls their growth and when they become unhealthy they destroys by themselves. A medical professional who practices oncology is known as oncologist.
