Who Delivers a Cancer Diagnosis?

Hello forum members,

I understand this might be an odd question, but is it only an oncologist that will deliver your potential cancer diagnosis? Would a Surgeon also be able to give this news? 

 Thanks

  • If you have seen a consultant & they've requested a biopsy, it will be the consultant that gives you the results. If it's positive for cancer, the consultant will then refer you to an oncologist & they will work together to arrange a suitable treatment plan.
