Field of Oncology

The scope of practice of an oncologist is largely directed by the stage of the malignancy (cancer). For example, the treatment of early-stage cancer may involve surgery or radiation, while advanced-stage cancer may require chemotherapy.These specialists work as part of a multidisciplinary team which may include a pathologist, radiologist, primary care physician, geneticist, palliative care specialist, oncology nurse, and organ-specific oncologists.

Oncologists are physicians who specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. There are three main types of oncologists.

  • gynecologic oncologist (Who treats gynecologic cancers, such as ovarian, uterine and cervical cancers)
