Surgical oncology is the branch of surgery applied to oncology; it focuses on the surgical management of tumors, especially cancerous tumors.
As one of several modalities in the management of cancer, the specialty of surgical oncology has evolved in steps similar to medical oncology (pharmacotherapy for cancer), which grew out of hematology, and radiation oncology, which grew out of radiology. The Ewing Society known today as the Society of Surgical Oncology was started by surgeons interested in promoting the field of oncology. Complex General Surgical Oncology was ratified by a specialty Board certification in 2011 from the American Board of Surgery. The proliferation of cancer centers will continue to popularize the field, as will developments in minimally invasive techniques, palliative surgery, and neo-adjuvant treatments.
Whether surgical oncology constitutes a medical specialty per se is the topic of a heated debate. Today, some would agree that it is simply impossible for any one surgeon to be competent in the surgical management of all malignant disease There are currently 19 surgical oncology fellowship training programs in the United States that have been approved by the Society of Surgical Oncology and this number is expect to grow. While many general surgeons are actively involved in treating patients with malignant neoplasms, the designation of "surgical oncologist" is generally reserved for those surgeons who have completed one of the approved fellowship programs. However, this is a matter of semantics, as many surgeons who are thoroughly involved in treating cancer patients may consider themselves to be surgical oncologists.
Most often, surgical oncologist refers to a general surgical oncologist (a subspecialty of general surgery), but thoracic surgical oncologists, gynecologic oncologists and so forth can all be considered surgeons who specialize in treating cancer patients.
The importance of training surgeons who sub-specialize in cancer surgery lies in evidence, supported by a number of clinical trials, that outcomes in surgical cancer care are positively associated to surgeon volume—i.

Voyez cancer pour la biologie des maladies malignes, et la liste de ces maladies. L'oncologie, ou carcinologie, ou cancérologie, est la spécialité médicale d'étude, de diagnostic et de traitement des cancers. Un médecin qui pratique cette discipline est appelé oncologue, cancérologue ou encore carcinologue. Le terme vient du grec onkos, signifiant « vrac », « masse » ou « tumeur », et du suffixe λόγος / lógos se référant au discours, à la raison.
Un chirurgien est un médecin spécialiste en chirurgie. En France, cette spécialité requiert onze ans d'étude : six ans jusqu'au concours des épreuves classantes nationales et six ans d'internat, période de compagnonnage au cours de laquelle le chirurgien apprend son futur métier au contact de ses pairs. Ces onze années sont souvent interrompues par une année de recherche (M2), auxquelles s'ajoutent deux voire quatre années de "post-internat". Les chirurgiens effectuent ainsi jusqu'à seize années de formation.
Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO or D.O., or in Australia DO USA) is a medical degree conferred by the 38 osteopathic medical schools in the United States. DO and Doctor of Medicine (MD) degrees are equivalent: a DO graduate may become licensed as a physician or surgeon and thus have full medical and surgical practicing rights in all 50 US states. , there were 168,701 osteopathic physicians and medical students in DO programs across the United States. Osteopathic medicine emerged historically from osteopathy, but has become a distinct profession.
