Course Overview

Cancer care today is not just about extending life — it’s about personalizing treatment, improving quality of life, and driving innovation through precision medicine. As cancer incidence continues to rise globally, the role of medical oncologists becomes ever more crucial in shaping patient outcomes through evidence-based therapies, targeted drugs, and immuno-oncology.

The Fellowship in Medical Oncology at HCG is a comprehensive program that aims to train physicians in the full spectrum of adult oncology — from early detection and diagnosis to advanced systemic therapies and supportive care. With a strong focus on clinical expertise, research exposure, and multidisciplinary integration, this fellowship bridges academic knowledge with real-world oncology practice.

Fellows gain hands-on experience in chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, and precision oncology, supported by advanced molecular diagnostics and translational research. Training takes place under the mentorship of renowned oncologists within HCG’s expansive cancer care network — one of India’s largest and most advanced.

This program transforms learners into confident oncologists who can deliver compassionate, evidence-based care and contribute meaningfully to the fight against cancer.
