Oncologic Therapy

Treatments organized specifically around cancer care, whichever mechanism they use to attack malignant cells. Belongs here: Chemotherapy and Radiotherapy. Does not belong here: a surgical procedure sometimes used to remove a tumor, grouped under surgical procedure because its organizing principle is the operative technique rather than the cancer indication, or an ordinary drug therapy for a non-cancer condition, grouped under pharmacological therapy.
