{{Short description|Medical speciality dealing with hormone producing tumors}}'''Endocrine oncology''' refers to a medical speciality dealing with hormone-producing tumors, i.e. a combination of [endocrinology](/source/endocrinology) and [oncology](/source/oncology).

Few centres are specializing in hormone producing tumors only, due to the relatively low [incidence](/source/Incidence_(epidemiology)). Most centres have gastroenterologists, oncologist or endocrinologists who deal with other diseases as well. One exception is the [Uppsala Centre of Excellence in Neuroendocrine Tumors](/source/Uppsala_Centre_of_Excellence_in_Neuroendocrine_Tumors)<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.endocrinetumors.org/ |title=Centre of Excellence for Endocrine Tumors - Uppsala University Hospital |access-date=2019-08-08 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110110134034/http://www.endocrinetumors.org/ |archive-date=2011-01-10 |url-status=dead }}</ref> at [Uppsala University Hospital](/source/Uppsala_University_Hospital) in [Sweden](/source/Sweden), where doctors treat only endocrine tumors.
