Burnout and imposter syndrome (IS) are commonly reported among oncologists at all career stages, irrespective of age, sex, or training level. Many professionals in the field reported feeling unsupported, highlighting the urgent need for coordinated efforts by institutions and professional organizations to strengthen the well-being infrastructure. As more oncologists consider leaving the profession or transitioning to other careers, the importance of thoughtful workforce planning and retention strategies has become increasingly apparent. Resilience, though a core trait in cancer physicians, is not sufficient. Addressing IS and burnout requires a broad cultural shift, one that fosters mentorship, implements supportive workplace policies, and prioritizes physician health. The future of oncology depends not only on scientific breakthroughs but also on the sustainability and well-being of those delivering care. Therefore, it is time to act.
