Oncology is the branch of medicine dedicated to the study, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of cancer. It encompasses various sub-disciplines including medical oncology, surgical oncology, radiation oncology, and more recently, precision and integrative oncology. As a dynamic and interdisciplinary field, oncology combines insights from molecular biology, genomics, immunology, pharmacology, and clinical practice to address the complexities of cancer care.

The role of the oncologist extends beyond managing tumor burden to guiding patients through survivorship, palliative care, and quality-of-life considerations. Advances in oncology have been driven by a deeper understanding of cancer pathophysiology, the development of targeted therapies, immunotherapies, and novel drug delivery systems. Modern oncology also focuses on minimizing side effects, managing resistance, and improving patient-specific outcomes. Clinical trials, real-world evidence, and translational research are fundamental to expanding the therapeutic landscape.

We welcome contributions that span basic to clinical oncology, including biomarker-driven studies, personalized treatment protocols, and innovative therapeutic strategies. Articles that highlight multidisciplinary collaboration, health disparities, and emerging technologies in cancer diagnosis and therapy are particularly valued for advancing comprehensive and patient-centered cancer care.
