According to the Indian Council of Medical research, it is estimated to have a 12% increase in cancer patients yearly for the next five years. The most common cancer seen among patients is breast, cervical and oral cancer. Oncology is the term used to define the branch of science that deals with the study of cancer and tumors. Onco means \u201cbulk or mass or tumor\u201d, whereas logy means \u201cstudy\u201d, thus oncology is the branch that helps diagnose cancer and then decide the route of treatments.
