Oncology 2024
Session 1: Oncology
Oncology is the branch of medicine that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. When the cells don't obey the body’s control mechanism then the growth of cells becomes abnormal which results in cancer. Different types of cancer exist, each behaving differently despite its ability to grow, divide, and re-divide.
Session 2: Oncologists
An Oncologist is specialized in the treatment of cancer. Oncologists diagnose cancer and identify treatment options. Oncologists are also known as specialists. The responsibilities are: explaining the cancer diagnosis and stage, when discussing treatment options and their preferred option, providing high-quality, compassionate care Assisting the patient in dealing with the symptoms and side effects of cancer and treatment.
Session 3: Cancer and its types
Cancer is the abnormal and uncontrolled growth of cells that affects normal body tissues. The cancerous cells invade and spread to the other parts of the body through blood and lymph systems. Cancer cells can disrupt normal organ function when they develop. This can lead to a reduction in oxygen supply and the accumulation of waste products. It is possible to die if vital organ function is impaired. Worldwide cancer is the leading cause of death.
Session 4: Cancer stages
Cancer is mainly classified into four stages; the fourth stage is the most dangerous. The early stage of cancer is Stage I which affects a small area. Stage II Cancerous cell grows and doesn’t spread to lymph systems. Stage III Cancerous cells spread to lymph systems and other tissues. Stage IV is known as metastatic or advanced cancer in which the cancerous cells spread to other organs of the body.
Session 5: Oncogenesis
Oncogenesis is the transformation of healthy cells into cancer cells. A series of genetic and cellular changes, including oncogene activation, causes the cell to divide uncontrollably. Oncogenesis which is occurring in cancer patients and cannot be reversed. Many cancer treatments aim to eliminate cancerous cells from the body.
Session 6: The Biology of Cancer
Our cells are genetically designed to perform a variety of tasks throughout our lives. New cells are needed to replace worn-out cells that die in a predictable cycle. When a cell's DNA becomes faulty, the cells can begin to expand uncontrollably, resulting in the formation of a tumor – a 'swelling,' but in the context of cancer, the term refers to abnormal tissue growth.
Session 7: Cancer detection and treatment
Cancer is suspected based on symptoms, physical examination findings, and, in some cases, screening test results. X-rays obtained for other reasons, such as an injury, may occasionally reveal abnormalities that could be cancer. Other tests are required to confirm the presence of cancer (termed diagnostic tests). The majority of people receive a combination of treatments, such as surgery combined with chemotherapy and radiation therapy.
Session 8: Prevention of Cancer
Cancer prevention and risk-reduction efforts significantly lessen the disease's financial, emotional, and physical toll and enhance the general health of cancer survivors, including lowering the risk of developing second cancer.
It is also important to note that not all cancers are avoidable, even though the risk of developing cancer can be significantly decreased by avoiding risk factors.
Session 9: Oncology Pharmacy
Oncology-specialist pharmacists play an important role in the healthcare team. Pharmacists also help with the overall drug plan coordination, which includes everything from inpatient chemotherapy infusions to which pills must be taken at home. Pharmacists are knowledgeable about pharmaceuticals and how they work in the fight against cancer.
Session 10: Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy medications, in general, work by attacking cells or preventing them from growing and dividing. Cancer cells proliferate and divide at an uncontrollable rate. Many chemotherapy drugs are specifically designed to inhibit this type of rapid cell growth. Chemotherapy is a systemic treatment. This means it circulates throughout the body via the bloodstream.
Session 11: Cancer Radiation Therapy
Radiation Therapy treatment uses high-energy radiation to destroy cancerous cells. The heavy dose of radiation kills the cancer cells and shrinks tumors by damaging their DNA. The body breaks and eliminates the damaged cells when they die.
Session 12: Clinical Tests
Clinical Tests are the primary means by which doctors discover new treatments. Cancer and other diseases are being studied in clinical tests. Clinical Tests also assist physicians in learning how to prevent disease and treat symptoms and side effects.
Session 13: Cancer Drugs and Vaccines
Cancer drugs are divided into several categories, including natural products, alkylating agents, hormones, and antimetabolites. Vaccines are given to healthy people to protect them from certain bacteria or viruses that spread diseases. Throughout your life, you will be given numerous vaccines to help prevent common illnesses. Cancer vaccines are also available. There are both cancer prevention and cancer treatment vaccines.
Session 14: Surgical Oncology
Surgical oncology is a branch of medicine dedicated to the surgical treatment of cancer tumors. Chemotherapy, radiation therapy, surgery, hormone therapy, bone marrow transplant, immunotherapy, targeted drug therapy, and other cancer treatment methods are available. A surgical oncologist is essential in multidisciplinary cancer care. They are trained to handle both simple and complex primary and secondary cancer cases.
Session 15: Clinical Oncology
Clinical Oncologists are cancer specialists who use a combination of radiotherapy and chemotherapy to treat patients. They are involved in the management of all types of cancer and use a variety of non-surgical treatments to treat cancers. A clinical oncologist’s role is very collaborative.
Session 16: Head and neck cancer
Head and neck cancer begins in the head and throat regions. The major cause of head and neck cancer is the consumption of alcohol and tobacco products. When the head and neck regions are exposed to radiation leads to head and neck cancer.
Session 17: Breast Cancer
Breast cancer occurs when the cells in the breast region grow abnormally. Breast cancer mainly occurs in women and rarely in men. The cancerous cells in the breast can also spread outside via blood vessels and lymph vessels. It is the world’s second leading cause of cancer death among women.
Session 18: Melanoma and Other Skin Cancer
Melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer, grows in the cells (melanocytes) that produce melanin, the pigment that gives your skin its color. Melanoma can also develop in the eyes and, in rare cases, inside the body, such as the nose or throat.
Although the exact cause of all melanomas is unknown, exposure to ultraviolet radiation (UV) from sunlight or tanning lamps and beds raises your risk of developing melanoma. Limiting your exposure to UV radiation may help lower your risk of developing melanoma.
Session 19: Cancer Biomedical Advancements
Biomedical instruments are used to help with the diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment of medical conditions. Several new types of cancer treatment equipment, such as:
Ultrasound and radiography - Ultrasound is a non-invasive method of obtaining an image of the internal organs. It is helpful for cancer patients to examine their abdomen for any lymph enlargement or masses.
Linear Accelerator (LINAC) - It emits highly localized radiation (X-rays) and is used in the treatment of cancer. The 6 MeV linear accelerator with surface electron capability allows the treatment of cancer cells even under the subcutis layer overlying the cranium. The connected display unit allows the patient to see his activity as well.
Session 20: Supportive care
Supportive care is an important component of cancer care that is provided in addition to treatments to slow, stop, or cure the disease. According to research, supportive care can improve your quality of life and make you feel more satisfied with your treatment.
