Medical oncologists: Medical oncologists treat cancer using hormonal therapies, chemotherapy, biological therapies, and other targeted treatments. People often consider a medical oncologist as their primary cancer doctor.

Surgical oncologists: A surgical oncologist may be the first doctor you may see if your primary care physician thinks that you have cancer. Surgical oncologists often perform a biopsy, which involves the removal of a small section of tissues to check for cancer cells.

Pediatric oncologists: A pediatric oncologist specializes in certain types of cancer, and conducts research on childhood cancers.

Gynecologic oncologists: Gynecologic oncologists can treat cancers that affect women, such as cervical, ovarian, uterine, vaginal, and vulvar cancers.
