Oncology at crossroads or vice-versa
Current oncology is the result of a development spanning thousands of years. Oncology regularly reaches crossroads, serving as the driving force for progress and the exploration of new treatment possibilities. Each era in human history has brought its own perspectives on cancer and its interpretations. Attempts to explain and treat cancer began with mysticism and the supernatural, gradually shaping through observation, inquiry, and research into its present form. It is certain that the future will continue to reshape our view of oncology, with upcoming crossroads propelling it forward. The history so far reveals that the essence of progress in oncology lies in curiosity, dissatisfaction with outcomes, and an unwavering willingness to tirelessly work and pursue the clinical challenges that captivate us.
