Oncologists are medical doctors who specialize in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of cancer. They are experts in the diagnosis and treatment of cancerous tumors, and also provide support and counseling to patients and their families during the cancer diagnosis and treatment process.
Oncolytic refers to a type of therapy that uses viruses or bacteria that are engineered to destroy cancer cells while leaving healthy cells intact. This approach involves introducing the virus or bacteria into the body to selectively infect and kill cancer cells, thereby reducing tumor size and slowing disease progression. Oncolytic therapy can be used to treat various types of cancer, including melanoma, pancreatic cancer, and liver cancer.
Oncovirus is a type of virus that can cause cancer. The term "oncovirus" is derived from the Greek words "oncos," meaning "tumor," and "virus," meaning "poison." Oncoviruses are a class of viruses that can infect cells and insert their genetic material into the host cell's genome, leading to the development of cancer. Examples of oncoviruses include the human papillomavirus (HPV), which is associated with cervical cancer, and the hepatitis B and C viruses, which are associated with liver cancer.
