An Oncologist Oncologists are physicians that treat, diagnose, and study cancerous tumors. There are many different types of oncologist. A clinical oncologist is a Doctor Who treats people with cancer. In most cases, when a person is diagnosed with cancer, a clinical oncologist takes charge of his or her care and treatment through all phases of the disease. A medical oncologist specializes in treating cancer with chemotherapy (the use of drugs to kill cancer cells) A surgical oncologist specializes in the surgical aspects of cancer, including a biopsy (the removal of a small amount of tissue for examination under a microscope) and surgically removing the cancer. A radiation oncologist specializes in treating cancer with radiation therapy (the use of high-energy x-rays to destroy cancer cells). A gynecologic oncologist focuses on the care and treatment of women with gynecologic cancers, such as uterine cancer and Cervical cancer.

A pediatric oncologist specializes in the treatment of children with cancer and includes all three primary oncology disciplines listed above in the care of their young patients.
