I am an oncologist. Yes, all kinds of needles. Not mentioned above is the bone marrow needle used for marrow biopsies and aspirates. No one enjoys that test - though it isn't much worse than a dental extraction if done correctly. Oncologists probably use needles more than any other specialty. We treat cancer through the blood stream, so we must have venous access. And yes we do tap fluid out of abdomens, chests, and of course do spinal taps.
