growing out of control and begin to spread or invade other organs. There are three significant
areas in oncology; medical oncology, radiation oncology, and surgical oncology.

tumor, and in some cases, coordinate treatment with other specialists. Surgery and treatment are
individualized and tailored according to the stage, grade, and location of the tumor.
