Analyze the relationship
Hematology is the branch of medicine concerned with the study, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases related to blood. Thus, the relationship is Specialist : Subject of study/treatment.
Evaluate the options
We need to find a pair where the professional treats the specific condition or organ mentioned. Oncologist is a doctor who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer.
A: Pathologist studies diseases in general, not just the eye (Ophthalmologist treats eyes). B: Cardiologist treats the heart, not lungs (Pulmonologist treats lungs). D: Nephrologist treats kidneys, not the nervous system (Neurologist treats the nervous system).
C is correct because an Oncologist is a specialist doctor who diagnoses and treats Cancer, matching the 'Specialist : Condition/Subject' relationship of Hematologist : Blood.
For medical analogies, memorize the common suffixes: -ologist (expert), -ology (study), and -itis (inflammation) to quickly identify the scope of practice.
