Answer 2

A medical professional who practices oncology is an oncologist.
Oncologists may be divided on the basis of the type of treatment provided.
* Radiation oncology: treatment primarily with radiation, a process called radiotherapy.
* Surgical oncology: surgeons who specialize in tumor removal.
* In the United Kingdom and several other countries, oncologists may be either clinical or medical oncologists. The main difference is that clinical oncologists deliver radiotherapy, while medical oncologists do not.
Gynecologic oncology focuses on cancers of the female reproductive system.

Answer 3

Oncologists. The doctors who perform operations on cancer patients are Urologists.

Answer 4

You have the doctors who are hematologists/oncologists, radiation therapy doctors and different surgeons who work together along with oncology nurses (who often give the chemotherapy to patients). My son was treated at Hasbro Childrens hospital in Providence, RI and had his hem/onc doctor, pediatrician, otolaryngologist (ear, nose throat), physical and occupational therapist, psychologist, endocrinologist (his tumor was in his maxillary sinus so radiation affected his growth center), and his radiation oncologist at R.I. hospital and another one at New England Medical Center in Boston. So there are many specialists involved beyond just the hematologist/oncologist who treat the cancer specifically.
