It is hard to imagine another field of medicine that evokes as much fear and anxiety in patients as oncology. A cancer diagnosis is often perceived almost as a death sentence, due to the deeply rooted belief that cancer cannot be cured. Fortunately, this situation has changed significantly in recent years.

​

Modern medicine has much to offer patients with many types of cancer. Treatment today includes not only surgery combined with traditional chemotherapy and radiation therapy, but also highly effective modern approaches developed in new areas of oncology, such as immuno-oncology, specialized hormonal therapy, targeted therapies directed specifically at tumor cells, and treatments based on genetic engineering. Undoubtedly, genetic analysis performed in the world’s leading laboratories now plays a crucial role in selecting the most effective and personalized treatment strategies for oncology patients.
