A. |
Conceptualisation of the Fellowship programme : |
|
Cancer incidence is increasing with globally 18.1 million new cases and 9.6 million cancer deaths in 2018. The approach to diagnosis and treatment of cancer and management of pulmonary complications of lung and other cancers or their therapies is a specialized area requiring training, experience and expertise. Current postgraduate training though concise, provides limited exposure to diagnostic and interventional procedures required in these patients as well as exposure to the above mentioned specialized issues of cancer management. Structured, University approved training programmes to address this is lacking in India even in Cancer Institutes in Pulmonology. As one of the largest cancer centres in Asia with almost 72,000 new cancer patient registrations every year, Tata Memorial Hospital is ideally poised to reach out to the multitudes of young Chest Physicians passing out every year and training them in the above. To address this, we felt that there is a need to develop a formal University approved structured training fellowship programme for a sound theoretical and practical exposure to various facets of Oncology and its related procedures. A two year duration of training was hence considered necessary to do justice to the Fellowship mission.
