The personal risk of being a pediatric hematologist/oncologist is no greater than being a general pediatrician, although the risk of being involved in a medical malpractice law suit is greater. By far, the greatest risk is emotional: becoming attached to patients who do not do well, eventually dying. Fortunately, most pediatric neoplasms (cancers) are forms of leukemia. With proper therapy, these cancers have better than a 95% rate of long-term survival.
