The specialty of clinical oncology involves all aspect of the management of patients with malignant disease, from diagnosis through treatment with both radiotherapy and systemic therapies to management and symptom control in advanced and recurrent disease. Managing cancer in all its various forms requires an inquiring mind, a strong general medical background, good practical skills and full commitment to patient care.

A clinical oncologist requires excellent clinical skills and should be conversant with the basic sciences relevant to both radiotherapy and systemic therapy of malignant disease, the pathological and functional aspects of disease and the basic elements of research in clinical oncology. It is a very clinically focused specialty, with much of the working week spent in direct patient contact in outpatient clinics and on the wards.

Teamwork is very important. Most clinical oncologists work in multidisciplinary teams of oncology-trained nurses, radiographers, physicists, surgeons and other clinicians, all of whom must integrate and communicate effectively. Good communication skills are important, both to patient management and to team working.
