Abstract
Although “cancer” is a name of a certain medical condition,
it is not a certain disease. The name “cancer” represents the
illness of many different types of tissues and organs. Therefore
diagnosis and prognosis of cancer illness need a multidicipliner
aproach. Every medical diciplin examines it's own
part. We are offering a better understanding by using detailed
examples about oncologic medical malpractices for a deeper
and holistic aproach about types of faults of medical professionals
dealing with “the cancer”.

Keywords: Cancer; oncologic; medical malpractice
