| | Oncology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Oncology is the medical study and treatment of cancer. | | | A physician who practices oncology is an oncologist. | | | The use of the latter is not always advised; rather, the patient is encouraged to learn to "live with [approaching] death", when every therapeutical possibility has been attempted. |

| | At the same time, advances in immunology are providing reagents capable of regulating immune function or altering host-defense systems in ways that may permit the use of current cytotoxic regimens in more rational and tolerable schedules and formulations, as well as the development of combined modality therapy utilizing both cytotoxic therapy and immunotherapy. | | | We evaluate principles of therapy (e.g., “therapeutic window,” combination immunotherapy and chemotherapy) for tumors that have been shown to be refractory to current therapies. | | | During the past decade, there has been considerable progress in understanding fundamental processes in the pathogenesis of pediatric cancers. |
