Corrections-
When discussing the role of traditional oncologists in gyn-onc: GYN oncologists will often refer their patients to a radiation oncologist if their treatment includes radiation in addition to chemotherapy and surgery.
The medical society Shelby mentioned for cancer treatment guidelines is National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN).
