What the wage survey shows
Median
$236,000
Bottom tenth
$66,260
Where the survey stops
$239,200
The federal wage survey has no oncology category. It files the specialty under physicians, all other, where the median is $236,000 a year and the bottom tenth sit near $66,260. There is no published top figure: once pay passes $239,200 a year the survey stops counting and lumps everyone above it together. The high number here is a cut-off, not a ceiling.
