During the course of treatment, they are interested not only in cancerous cells, but also in maintaining the overall quality of life of the patient.

Main Treatment Methods Applied in Medical Oncology

The methods used in the treatment of cancer have become much more targeted with the development of technology:

• Chemotherapy: It is drug therapy aimed at destroying cancer cells that multiply rapidly or stop their spread.
• Targeted Treatments (Smart Drugs): It is a high-tech method that targets only certain molecules on cancer cells, causing minimal damage to healthy tissues.
• Immunotherapy: By training and strengthening the body's own immune system, it allows the system to recognize and destroy cancerous cells on its own.
• Hormonal Treatments: In hormone-sensitive tumors (especially breast and prostate), it inhibits the growth of cancer by interrupting the flow of hormones.

• Breast Cancer: It is the most common type in women and is treated with a multidisciplinary approach.
• Lung Cancer: It is one of the areas where the next generation of smart medicine and immunotherapy applications are delivering the most successful results.
• Colorectal (Bowel) Cancers: Follow-up and chemotherapy of tumors of the digestive tract.
