Importance in Public Health
Cancer remains one of the leading causes of death globally, and early, appropriate medical management is crucial for improving survival and quality of life. Medical oncology plays a vital role in reducing cancer mortality through early detection, systemic therapy, and prevention strategies. The department contributes to public health education, cancer screening programs, vaccination drives (e.g., HPV, Hepatitis B), and smoking cessation counselling. With advancements in immunotherapy and targeted treatments, medical oncology is transforming cancer into a manageable chronic disease for many. Moreover, the oncologist’s role extends beyond treatment to psychosocial support, family education, and end-of-life care, making it a cornerstone of compassionate and comprehensive cancer care.
