Session 3. Statistics of Oncology
As per the UICC report, around 8 million people are dying worldwide because of cancer. One in three of us will develop cancer at some time in our lives, and one in four will die of it. As we see locally, cancer is now the most commonest cause of premature death in Scotland. Each year, around 29,000 people will have a new cancer diagnosed and at any one time around 150,000 people may be affected. This number will be increasing towards the end of the century due to the increase in the elderly population.

About Oncology
Oncology is a branch of science that involves the study of causes, symptoms, treatment of cancer. The main types of oncology are Medical oncology (using Chemotherapy, Immunotherapy), Radiation oncology (using radiations), Surgical oncology (using surgery) to treat cancers.
Scope and importance
Cancer is world’s second disease that causes more number of deaths. More children are being affected and the disease is different from the adults. The persons who are childhood cancer survivors develops either physical or mental health problem because of the treatment they received in their childhood. From these illustrations we can see that there is growing need for supporting the treatment for cancer and also to create more awareness among the people for early detection of cancer and research to find a suitable cure for it.
