Surgical oncology is the branch of surgery which focuses on the surgical management of malignant neoplasms (cancer).
Whether surgical oncology constitutes a medical specialty per se is the topic of a heated debate. Today, most physicians would agree that it is simply impossible for any one surgeon to be competent in the surgical management of all malignant disease.
Therefore, the term surgical oncologist is generally applied to a surgeon of any surgical specialty who develop specific interest and skills in the surgical treatment of cancer in his or her respective specialty. Most often, surgical oncologist refers to a general surgical oncologist (cf. General Surgery), but thoracic surgical oncologists, gynecologic oncologists and so forth can all be considered surgical oncologists.
