Definición

  • An oncologist is someone who works on cancer research or cancer treatment, coming from the word oncology which in turn derives from the Greek work onkos (oγκoς), meaning a mass or tumor, with –ology meaning a study of a particular topic. An oncologist may work privately, for a hospital, for a pharmaceutical company, or for a medical research institute, and may be involved in not only the diagnosis of cancer and therapy such as surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy, but also other procedures connected with the treatment of cancer patients.
