What is Oncology ???

The term oncology literally means a branch of science that deals with tumours and cancers. The word “onco” means bulk, mass, or tumor while “-logy” means study.

Now let's gain some knowledge about cancer, because knowledge is the best way to fight with cancer. This is true that cancer is very dangerous disease but if we have basic knowledge of cancer, its symptoms then we can easily protect us and our family very easily.

So I request to all my readers to join hands against the fight with cancer. Having some knowledge about cancer can save our life as well as the life of our dear one's.  So it is very necessary to gain knowledge about cancer. Now the cancer arrives in our mind is that what is cancer??? 

Each of the cells of the body has a tightly regulated system that controls their growth, maturity, reproduction and eventual death. Cancer begins when cells in a part of the body start to grow out of control. There are many kinds of cancer, but they all start because of out-of-control growth of abnormal cells. Today, millions of people are living with cancer or have had cancer. Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States. About one-half of all men and one-third of all women in the US will develop cancer during their lifetimes.

Due to lack of knowledge peoples thinks that it is very dangerous and an abnormal disease. But this is only a myth.
