Oncology is a branch of medicine that deals with the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of cancer. Cancer survival has improved due to three main components including improved prevention efforts to reduce exposure to risk factors (e.g., tobacco smoking and alcohol consumption), improved screening of several cancers (allowing for earlier diagnosis), and improvements in treatment.
It is very important for oncologists to keep updated with respect to the latest advancements in oncology, as changes in management of cancer are quite common. Though the number of medical facilities that offer oncology services in Kenya are few, some advancements are made in the diagnosis and management of cancer.
