AB The  practices  of  medicine  and  law  are  both  full  of  complex  ethical  and  philosophical  questions.  Oncology  further  complicates  the  ethics  landscape  by  introducing  a  plethora  of  nuanced  variables—vulnerable  patient  populations,  end-of-life  decisions,  experimental  treatments,  and  high  costs  of  care,  to  name  a  few.  The  question  is  not  if  but  when  oncology  clinicians  will  encounter  legal  and  ethical  dilemmas.  When  such  a  dilemma  arises,  oncology  clinicians  and  legal  professionals  can  adopt  a  systematic  approach  based  in  applied  medicolegal  ethics.
