Looking for a cancer doctor or tumour specialist? An oncologist is the medical term for a cancer doctor who diagnoses and treats all types of cancer. There are three main types: medical oncologists who manage chemotherapy, surgical oncologists who remove tumours, and radiation oncologists who give radiation therapy. If you or a family member has been diagnosed with cancer, a medical oncologist is usually the first doctor to see. In India, a qualified cancer specialist holds DM (Medical Oncology) or equivalent. For the best outcomes, look for hospitals where cancer doctors work together in multidisciplinary tumour boards, reviewing every case as a team.

Most good cancer centres have all three working together as a team.
What qualifications should a cancer doctor in India have?
A qualified cancer doctor in India holds MBBS, MD (General Medicine) and DM (Medical Oncology). Cancer surgeons hold MS with MCh (Oncosurgery).
