Medical Schools dont teach Oncology.   The specialty is an "on the job" training after medical school at a Hospital that is attached to a University program.

First one gets their Medical Degree.   Then you get a residency in  Internal Medicine,  that takes 3 years. Then you get a "specialty in Oncology"   that takes another 2  1/2 years at an institution that specializes in that particular field.

Oncologist ,  doesnt do surgery either, that is another specialty that goes like this.  First Med School, then General Surgery or OBBYN for 4 years Residency,  then specialty in a particular field of surgery,  could be Gynecological Surgery,   or Thorasic surgery,  thats another 6 years of training.
