Etymology
The term "l'oncologue endocrinien" combines two French words: "oncologue," derived from the Greek 'onkos' meaning mass or tumor, and '-logue' meaning specialist; and "endocrinien," originating from Greek 'endo-' meaning inside and 'krinein' meaning to separate or secrete, referring to glands that release hormones internally. Together, they describe a specialist focused on cancers of the hormone-producing glands.
