Hello

To be a oncologist, you need to be a doctor after MBBS. I'm afraid it's not possible to be an oncologist after BSc Microbiology.

To refer more details, check this link :

But, you can do research related to Cancer Biology after your MSc or you can go for integrated PhD in cancer related subjects. For more information, I'd suggest you ask a teacher at your own college for more opportunities in cancer biology. Research is always more interesting and eventful than being a doctor. Oncology is an interesting field to work in and I wish you good luck.

Hi,

I hope you are doing well!

No, you can not pursue oncology. The eligibility to pursue oncology is mentioned below:
- Students should have an MBBS degree recognised by the Medical Council of India.
- Candidates who have a postgraduate degree (MD) recognised by the Medical Council of India or appropriate DNB of National Board of Examinations, New Delhi.
- MD (paediatrics) or equivalent (including Diplomate of National Board in Paediatrics).

Hello Student,

Since you had already mentioned that you don't want to do endocrinology, my main focus will be comparing nephrology and oncology for you.

Career scope in nephrology: Candidates aspiring to become Nephrologist must possess a 5½ years MBBS degree followed by 2- 3 years M.D. (Medicine) / DNB (Nephrology) course. After attaining the Master's degree candidates have to do D.M. (Nephrology) to specialize in the field of Nephrology.

As a nephrologist you can specialize in pediatric nephrology and adult nephrology. Pediatric nephrology deals with the treatment of kidney diseases in children's. You can find jobs in various government and private hospitals, kidney and dialysis centres, and general medical centres.

The demand for care related to kidney disease and injury is increasing . For a fresher working in a corporate hospital in a big city, starting salary will be 1.5 to 2 lakhs.

Career scope in oncology: Oncology nursing is a great career for nurses who enjoy ongoing relationships with patients and their families. It has its own unique requirements—things that can tax a nurse both professionally and emotionally—but it also offers tremendous rewards.  Demand for oncology services is expected to rise rapidly , driven by the aging and growth of the population and improvements in cancer survival rates, at the same time the oncology workforce is aging and retiring in increasing numbers.
