A member asked:
Are there many women oncologists? what is the percentage of males to females who are oncologists?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Now growing: In 2005, 23% of medical oncologists were women. This is growing very rapidly, especially since the percentage of women in medicine has grown dramatically. I don't have the exact number today, but the numbers of women in the field is rapidly increasing.
