What does an oncologist do?

An oncologist is a doctor who specialises in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer.  Some oncologists may specialise in a particular area of cancer treatment such as paediatric oncologists. They deal with the use of radiotherapy or drugs (chemotherapy) to treat cancer and may work closely with a surgeon who specialises in cancer treatment (a surgical oncologist). A clinical oncologist will administer radiotherapy treatment.
