Oncology is a discipline shaped by complexity, uncertainty, and time. This chapter explores cancer as a biological process, a clinical journey, and a human experience.

In this deep dive, you’ll hear how malignancy develops, how it is staged and treated, and why multidisciplinary care matters. Beyond mechanisms and therapies, the chapter attends to toxicity, survivorship, and the ethical weight of decision-making when cure is uncertain.

This is a chapter about precision and compassion — and about holding hope without illusion.
