You've got a long way to go - judging by your atrocious spelling at least.

To be a "cancer dorctor" (Oncologist) you first need to be an "ordinary doctor" - i.e. you need a medical degree and then need to go through the normal training of a junior doctor before you specialise.

So your first step is to take courses that will set you up to take a medical degree:-
Biology
Chemistry
Physics
and maybe Mathematics

And you must be THE VERY BEST at these.

If you can't make being an Oncologist, there are plenty of other important research jobs in cancer - you will need the same basic qualifications but to a (slightly) lower standard

A cancer doctor is called an oncologist. If you are in college , be sure that your course is a preparatory course for medicine. After that you go to medical school. A graduating medical student is called an clerk. Once you graduate, you are going to have a one year internship training. After internship training then you take the Board examination.
In our country, the Philippines. After passing the board examination , you go on Residency training in the specialty field you want to take. You can take first Internal Medicine and after graduating, you choose the subspecialty you want. If you want to be a cardiologist or an oncologist ( cancer doctor).
Different cancers have different etiology or origin.
I suggest that you go to the internet and see the medical schools and ask them what the tuition fee is at present.

In order to become an oncologist (or a cardiologist), you should consider Canadian as well as US Medical Schools. What you major in is irrelevant so long as you take the required courses for medical school admission. Consult an advisor when you start college.

Classifying cancers is a complex process. There are several tumors of each organ, and each has a different prognosis and a different response to therapy.

You're looking at 3 years for your bachelor degree, 2 more for your masters one to two more for your doctorate, 2 years interning and then a couple of years of residentcy in oncology.
All in all, about 10 years of work and education before you make it.
Still interested?.....McGill University is probably your best in Canada with the University of Toronto a close second. Don't forget McMaster University in Hamilton....excellent medical school.

Go for it and good luck.

Well, you could begin by calling a "cancer doctor" by his real professional name: ONCOLOGIST.
