Medical oncologists are specialists in the use of drug-based treatments for cancer, such as chemotherapy.
Like medical oncologists, clinical oncologists use drug-based treatments for cancer. However, they also use treatments like radiotherapy for a combined approach.
Surgical oncologists treat cancer using surgical interventions, such as tumour removal. Surgical oncologists are general surgeons who have completed specialist training in cancer and cancerous growths.
You may find oncologists titled according to the area of medicine they specialise in – for example, gynaecologic oncologists or urologic oncologists.
