Course Overview

The fight against blood cancers and hematological disorders demands highly skilled clinicians trained in advanced transplant medicine and leukemia management. With the growing incidence of leukemia, lymphoma, and bone marrow failure syndromes, there is a rising need for specialists who can deliver comprehensive, evidence-based, and compassionate care.

The Fellowship in Bone Marrow Transplant & Leukemia at HCG is a structured, hands-on program designed to develop clinical expertise in the diagnosis and management of hematological malignancies, along with in-depth training in autologous and allogeneic bone marrow transplantation. The program provides exposure to cutting-edge transplant protocols, immunotherapy, cellular therapy, and post-transplant care under the mentorship of nationally and internationally recognized hematologists and transplant experts.

Through this fellowship, candidates gain practical experience in managing complex cases, understanding transplant immunology, and contributing to research that advances hematologic oncology. Training at HCG — one of India’s leading cancer care networks — ensures fellows are well-prepared to take leadership roles in this highly specialized domain.

Why This Fellowship Matters

  • Rising Incidence: Leukemia and other blood cancers are among the most rapidly increasing malignancies worldwide, requiring expert management and advanced therapeutic approaches.
  • Growing Transplant Need: The demand for bone marrow and stem cell transplants continues to grow, especially in countries like India where access is expanding rapidly.
  • Expertise Gap: There is a limited number of trained hematologists and transplant physicians who can perform complex procedures with precision and safety.
  • The HCG Advantage: HCG’s state-of-the-art transplant units, multidisciplinary teams, and research-driven protocols offer the ideal learning environment for comprehensive training.

Fellowship Highlights
