It is a branch of medicine that deals with the identification, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of cancer.  Medical professionals who practice oncology are called as cancer specialists or oncologists.

Each of the cells in the body has a firmly regulated system that controls their growth, puberty, reproduction and eventual death. Cancer begins when cells in a part of the body start to spread out of control. There are various kinds of cancer, but they all start because of out-of-control growth of abnormal cells.
