Well, I am not personally a doctor, though I am attending nursing school, but I will see what I can do to find someone who can respond to you.
In the meantime, my first thought was similar to yours. Oncologists are capable of diagnosing cancer, to extend the lives of patients therefore giving them more time to learn about the world around them.
On another thought, researchers focusing on oncology, the study of cancer, are learning how our environments affect our bodies, sometimes producing harmful chemicals and toxins that can cause cancer. For example, it was recently thought that PBA plastic water bottles caused cancer. While this theory has temporarily been refuted, research is ongoing.
Additionally, in the past, no one knew smoking cigarettes were harmful, but now it is well known that cigarettes can cause lung cancer among other conditions like emphysema.
Also, you may want to watch some videos by Dr. Marchese. I think they will be helpful. https://www.empowher.com/users/dr-marianne-marchese
Hope this helps and I will see what we can do about finding a certified expert to answer your question.
