Cancer
. The three primary disciplines are medical, surgical and radiation oncology. A
Medical Oncologist

Cancer Specialist

Surgical Oncologist
includes biopsy (sample taking), staging (examinations and tests to see the extent and spread of the cancer) and surgical resection (removal) of tumours. A

Oncologists
