About what type of doctors work with cancer patients

What type of doctors work with cancer patients>>>?
I would perhaps like to work with cancer patients, particularly children. I would actually like to work at St. Jude's Children Hospital...so are there any doctors that specialize in that?

Yes, there are different types and all are called Oncologists. Some are Radiologist Oncologists specializing in radiology therapy. Yet others prescribe medicines after the radiology or manage chemotherapy. Good luck, the world needs more caring physicians who want to help children.
