Head & Neck cancers are among the fastest-growing cancer types worldwide, with rising cases linked to tobacco use, alcohol consumption, viral infections, and lifestyle factors. In India alone, nearly 30% of all cancers are head & neck related, making specialized expertise in this domain a pressing need. Treating these cancers requires not only surgical precision but also a multidisciplinary approach that balances survival with quality of life, speech, swallowing, and aesthetics.
The Fellowship in Head & Neck Cancer Surgery at HCG is designed to train the next generation of surgical oncologists in advanced, evidence-based management of complex head and neck malignancies. This fellowship goes beyond textbooks by offering hands-on surgical exposure, hospital-based training, and mentorship from globally recognized oncologists at one of India’s leading cancer care networks.
With HCG’s strong legacy in oncology and its reputation as a center of excellence, fellows gain access to cutting-edge technology, high patient volumes, and real-world multidisciplinary case discussions. The program ensures that candidates develop expertise in tumor resections, reconstructive techniques, minimally invasive approaches, and rehabilitation protocols.
By enrolling in this fellowship, you are not just upgrading your surgical skills. You are preparing to make a difference in a world where cancer incidence is on the rise.
