Dr. Niti Krishna Raizada, Senior Director of Medical Oncology and Hemato Oncology, Fortis Hospital Bannerghatta Road, explores the fascinating world of Medical Oncology, a young and dynamic branch of oncology. Medical Oncology encompasses the entire journey of cancer patients, from the onset of symptoms to diagnosis, staging, and treatment.
