   I don’t know about the UK, but in the US you need to have finished medical school and a residency in internal medicine before you can get a fellowship in oncology

   If you want to work with patients, you need an MD and residency and fellowship, which takes about 10 years.
   If you want to work in a lab and study oncology there, or teach oncology, a PhD would work, and would take about 5 years.
