Medical Oncology

Medical oncology is a field focused on the use of medicinal methods for treating malignant tumors. Recent advancements in this area not only significantly prolong the lives of patients but also achieve complete recovery in some cases. Thanks to scientific discoveries in recent years, therapy has become increasingly personalized, maximizing effectiveness while minimizing side effects.

One of the key features of medical oncology is the development of an individual treatment plan based on the characteristics of the tumor and the patient’s body. For this, doctors use technologies such as genetic testing and molecular analysis of the tumor. These methods identify the precise mutations driving the disease and select medications that target only the malignant cells.

According to the American Cancer Society, personalized therapy increases the likelihood of successful treatment by 20–40% compared to traditional methods. For instance, targeted therapy has already proven its effectiveness in treating melanoma, lung cancer, and breast cancer.

Modern treatment methods

Medicinal therapy in medical oncology includes several directions:

• Chemotherapy: one of the most well-known methods, aimed at destroying cancer cells or stopping their growth. Today, more gentle protocols are used that reduce the intensity of side effects.
• Immunotherapy: a breakthrough in recent decades that "trains" the patient's immune system to fight the tumor. For example, checkpoint inhibitors have significantly improved survival rates for patients with metastatic lung cancer.
• Targeted therapy: drugs that affect only tumor cells, preserving healthy tissues. This approach is highly effective for tumors with specific genetic mutations.
• Hormonal therapy: used for hormone-dependent tumors such as breast cancer or prostate cancer. This method blocks the action of hormones that stimulate tumor growth.
• Combined therapy: often involves a combination of several methods, improving the prognosis and tailoring the treatment to specific circumstances.

Statistics

According to the World Health Organization, the five-year survival rate for patients with breast cancer has increased by 27% after using targeted therapy.

Immunotherapy achieves significant improvements even in patients with late-stage diseases. For example, PD-1 and PD-L1 inhibitors increase overall survival by 30–50% in lung cancer.

Thanks to the implementation of molecular analysis of tumors, over 60% of patients receive personalized treatment, enhancing its effectiveness and reducing toxicity.
