Globocan data shows India will witness a tremendous increase in cancer incidence. With ever increasing therapy advancements in oncology, the cancer survivors are increasing which means that the prevalence of cancer will also increase as survivability increases.

It is witnessed that the exposure of oncology at the level of MBBS is far less than adequate and there is a tremendous need to develop a workforce which is capable of dealing with cancer care and can work shoulder to shoulder with trained medical oncologists or radiation oncologists and execute the end care effectively.

The Fellowship in Clinical Oncology course is carefully designed to provide comprehensive information on common cancers with immense use of visuals and case studies taking you through the full journey of a cancer patient to help you understand the imperatives of oncology. This in turn would help one not only understand the subject better, but also enhance job opportunities to work in oncology setups as trained clinical oncologists and be part of the team who drives the oncology care.

I believe that this is the course which young MBBS doctors can look forward to who have interest in pursuing a career in oncology.
