Job Bank's radiation oncologist page shows a median of about $311,000 a year (low $126,000, high $607,000), but it pools all medical specialists and reports gross payments. Most radiation oncologists in Canada are paid a salary or a fixed annual amount by a cancer centre, so there is little office overhead and gross is close to net. A realistic range is roughly $250,000 to $550,000. Varies by province.
