1. Knowledge and mastery of medical terms relating to oncology services, and body systems such as the nervous, endocrine systems are pertinent in attaining health literacy. Knowledge is power; with this information, the patients can make a more informed decision with the illnesses that they are dealing with. This knowledge will also make them feel that they have control over their health.

2. If I am in the medical field, I will use this knowledge to help the patients with their concerns. I'd provide explanations when the medical terms are too hard for them to understand.

3. One position in the medical field using this type of information is an oncologist. I will definitely provide medical assistance to those people requiring my service, and as much as possible raise awareness to prevent cancer.
