Oncology is the medical field of treating cancers. It involves the use of chemotherapy and nuclear medicine. As such there is a need for Oncologists, Radiologists and the specialized nurses needed to help them.

With a degree and certification in Medical Oncology a physician may get a job practicing this field in a hospital, medical center, university hospital, or with an organization that does research. There are several physician jobs that have subspecialties in oncology such as a Gynecological oncologist, or a Pediatric oncologist!
