The study of
cancer. There are five major areas of oncology: etiology (The
branch of medicine that deals with the causes or origins of disease),
prevention, biology, diagnosis, and treatment. As a clinical
discipline, it draws upon a wide variety of medical specialties; as a
research discipline, oncology also involves specialists in many areas
of biology and in a variety of other scientific areas. Oncology has
led to major progress in the understanding not only of cancer but
also of normal biology.
