Oncology Expert Witness

According to the American Board of Internal Medicine, an Oncologist specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of all types of cancer and other benign and malignant tumors. This specialist decides on and administers therapy for these malignancies, as well as consults with surgeons and radiotherapists on other treatments for cancer.

The field of oncology has three major areas: medical, surgical, and radiation.

• A medical oncologist treats cancer using chemotherapy or other medications, such as targeted therapy.
• A surgical oncologist removes the tumor and nearby tissue during an operation. He or she also performs certain types of biopsies.
• A radiation oncologist treats cancer using radiation therapy.

Other types of oncologists include the following:

• A gynecologic oncologist treats gynecologic cancers, such as uterine cancer and cervical cancer.
• A pediatric oncologist treats cancer in children. Some types of cancer occur most often in children and teenagers, such as certain brain tumors, leukemia, osteosarcoma, and Ewing’s sarcoma. But they sometimes occur in adults. In these cases, an adult may decide to work with a pediatric oncologist.
• A hematologist-oncologist diagnosis and treats blood cancers, such as leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma.
