What is a surgical oncologist?
A surgical oncologist is a doctor who specializes in the surgical removal of tumors and cancerous tissue, working alongside medical and radiation oncologists as part of a patient's overall cancer care team.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a surgical oncologist do?

When should I see a surgical oncologist instead of a medical oncologist?
