Duties and Reponsibilities:

• The three main types of oncologists are medical, surgical, and radiation oncologists.

• A pediatric oncologist specializes in the treatment of children with cancer. This specialty includes all three primary oncology disciplines listed above. (Some types of cancer occur most often in children and teenagers, such as certain brain tumors, leukemia, osteosarcoma, and Ewing’s sarcoma. However, they occasionally occur in adults. In these instances, an adult may decide to be treated by a pediatric oncologist.)
• A hematologist-oncologist specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of cancers of the blood, such as leukemias, lymphomas, and myelomas 

Salary: $245,010 per year.

Education:All oncologists (doctors who treat people with cancer) begin their education with four years of premedical education at a college or university, followed by four years of medical school where they earn an MD (medical doctor) or DO (doctor of osteopathy) degree. After medical school, a doctor must pass an examination to become licensed to practice medicine and complete a three- to seven-year residency, such as general surgery or internal medicine. In the United States, each state has its own standards for licensing doctors.
