Oncologists are doctors who study, diagnose, and treat cancer. These special doctors practice at a variety of medical centers, university hospitals, and research facilities. Many oncologists specialize in a particular type of cancer or cancer treatment. For example, medical oncologists specialize in the treatment of cancer with chemotherapy (the use of chemical agents, or drugs, to kill cancer cells).

Finding the right oncologist is important. You want to find a doctor who is expertly familiar with the symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of your cancer. Furthermore, the relationship established between a patient and their oncologist may last for many years. This underscores the importance of finding a doctor that is both medically qualified and enjoyable to be around.
