| | Respectful Insolence (a.k.a. "Orac Knows"): What is a surgical oncologist? |
| | A surgical oncologist is different from a medical oncologist or a radiation oncologist, with whom we are sometimes confused. | | | Surgical oncologists are more highly trained, but a lot of what a surgical oncologist learns and brings to the table can be learned outside of a fellowship through experience taking care of cancer patients, and many general surgeons have done so. | | | Radiation oncologists, on the other hand, are more like surgical oncologists in that they treat local disease, this time using radiation, rather than surgery. |

| | What is a Gynecologic Oncologist? |
| | Women whose surgery was performed by a gynecologic oncologist had five-year survival rates after surgical treatment only, which parallel those rates found in studies of women utilizing radiation or chemotherapy in addition to their surgery. | | | The improved survival of women whose surgeries are performed by gynecologic oncologists is a result of their tendency to perform more aggressive surgical techniques, and consequently realize more optimal outcomes. | | | Surgical skills required to properly stage and remove the majority of the tumor, as well as chemotherapy and radiation therapy techniques are learned and practiced at the highest skill level. |

| | Radiation oncologist - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Radiation oncologists not only work closely with other physicians such as surgeons, internal medicine subspecialists and medical oncologists, but they also rely on the expertise of medical physicists, dosimetrists, radiation therapists, nurses, and many other support staff. | | | Most radiation oncologists also pursue a fellowship after their residency, examples of which include brachytherapy, intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), gynecologic radiation oncology, and many others. | | | A radiation oncologist is a doctor who specialises in the treatment of cancer patients, using radiation as the main modality of treatment as opposed to a medical oncologist who is a doctor who uses chemotherapy as the preferred modality of treatment. |
