agree  Jeffrey Jankowski: A good option. Using "for" instead of "of" is also quite common in English (i.e., American Society of/for [professional field], but American Society of [persons working in the field].)

Spanish Medical Oncology Society / Spanish Oncology Society


Explanation:
I would suggest leaving out "of" similar to the American Cancer Society, American Heart Association, etc. Also, "medical" is superfluous, given that oncology is s branch of medicine, but that is just a personal preference.

In my opinion, as stated above, "Spanish Oncology Society would be the better choice, since the field of oncology is inherently medical in nature; "medical oncology" sounds repetitive and superfluous and therefore not fitting of this type of professional organization.

neutral  Muriel Vasconcellos: IMO, too many premodifying nouns slow down the reader and make the name more difficult to understand.
10 mins
  -> While a valid point, one must also take into account that such organizational names are common in English (see my note above).
neutral  philgoddard: "Medical" is not superfluous. There's also surgical and radiation oncology
