Oncology and Cancer Science

Leukemia, Lymphoma, Germ cell tumors and early stage solid tumors which were once incurable have become curable malignancies now. Immunotherapies have already proven efficient in leukemia, bladder cancer and various skin cancers. For the future, research is promising in the field of physical oncology. Survival of cancer has significantly improved over the past years due to improved screening, diagnostic methods and treatment options with targeted therapy. Large multi-centric Phase III randomized controlled clinical trials by the National Surgical Adjuvant Breast & Bowel Project (NSABP), Medical Research Council (MRC), and the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) and National Cancer Institute (NCI) have contributed significantly to the improvement in survival.
