Cancer objectively does exist and we will conclude this even if we ignore oncologists.
If cancer were something extremely subjective, widely believed to not be a problem at all and the only people claiming it was a problem were oncologists - then maybe. But it's not the case.
This isn't true. Can you see cancer? How exactly do you know someone (or yourself) has cancer?
If we eliminate oncologists and other medical professionals who are able to identify and diagnose cancer, then cancer won't exist any more. People will simply die from unexplained illnesses.

By using your eyes or fingers to detect lumps.

This is absurdly, catastrophically wrong.
>This stuff was taught in high school when I was a kid
You were taught in high school how to distinguish, visually, cancerous tumors from benign tumors, and you can take over as an oncologist today because of this ability? I find that hard to believe.
There is weak evidence of tall poppy syndrome being a workplace problem or a workplace problem affecting predominantly women.
If someone gave women a survey that asked “Do you believe that workplace stress on women is causing increased cancer risk?”, and 90% reported yes, that would be horrible evidence to decide that cancer research funding should be diverted to this women’s empowerment org.
