18 years: To become a surgical oncologist you need to obtain a bachelors degree and then go to medical school for four years, then general surgery residency for five to seven years, and then two years of surgical oncology fellowship.

Long, but worth it!: In order to become a surgical oncologist a person has to complete 4 years of college, then 4 years of medical school, then 5 years of general surgery training, and finally 2 years of fellowship in surgical oncology. So that adds up to 15 years of training after completing high school. It's a long time, but leads to a very rewarding job.
