In today’s society, with the changes in people’s living habits and surrounding environment, the number of tumor patients is increasing. Doctors in oncology specialties face a large number of tumor patients all year round, do they have a sense of professional accomplishment? Medical Forum launched a survey through its official microblogging site, and the results showed that doctors with and without a sense of accomplishment accounted for 47.5% and 24.5% respectively, while 28% of them thought it did not matter. Doctors’ sense of accomplishment is a complex issue. Tumor, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and diabetes are defined as the three major chronic diseases by the World Health Organization. From the time when people used to talk about cancer, to the time when patients can survive and live a long time with improved quality of life and less pain, this progress cannot be achieved without the efforts of clinicians, basic researchers and pharmacists all over the world, the support of governments, and especially the hard work of oncologists and nurses. In this sense, oncologists have a sense of accomplishment because they are leading the progress of the industry and are contributing to the country’s prosperity and people’s health. On the other hand, tumor treatment is more difficult, and oncologists work with great intensity, pressure and responsibility. Despite the great progress we have made, we still face great challenges.” Research in clinical oncology has progressed slowly, despite advances. For most middle- and late-stage tumors, doctors can only prolong patients’ lives but not cure the tumors. Therefore, tumor treatment has a long way to go. The Party and the government should pay more attention to the prevention and treatment of tumors and increase the popularization of tumor prevention knowledge; the society and the patients and their families should pay more attention to the doctors and have more understanding, so that the doctors can surely pay better for the patients and gradually have a sense of accomplishment. Oncologists’ sense of accomplishment should be divided into medical oncology and surgical oncology. Surgical oncologists face mostly early-stage patients, and the survival period of patients is often counted in years. After surgery, the patients get out of bed, are discharged from the hospital, and return to their original normal life, so the doctors have a stronger sense of accomplishment. Medical oncologists, on the other hand, face advanced patients suffering from diseases all year round, and even often face death, and the survival period of patients is often measured in months, so the sense of achievement is weaker. In addition, more and more new drugs are pouring into the clinic, and it is a difficult problem for oncologists to choose drugs. Oncology treatment takes a long time and requires follow-up to observe the 3-year survival rate and 5-year survival rate, which makes doctors’ workload and task heavy. This is a relatively weak sense of achievement compared with doctors in some departments. Zhi Xiuyi hopes that oncologists will be patient and share their experience of tumor prevention and treatment with their colleagues through scientific research and follow-up data analysis, so as to win back the sense of achievement.
