Spanish term

en predisposición a cáncer

Spanish to English Other Other
From a Spanish medical journal article:

Por último y para mí lo más interesante del artículo es el screening que proponen ellos para evitar irradiar en exceso a éstos pacientes mediante cortes únicos de TAC a nivel de carina.
Éste es un tema que a mí, como especialista en predisposición a cáncer, me interesa y preocupa sobremanera.

My first impression of this was that it was just another way to say "oncologist". However, I also wonder if he means that he himself is "predisposed toward getting cancer"???
