The Radiation Oncology Team at TMC has a unique mix of doctors, medical physicists and technicians who have trained and worked in some of the best institutions in India and abroad. The department focuses on patient centric care using all the ultra modern facilities available to enhance the patients journey through the stressful time of cancer care. The outcomes of treatments published by the department show comparable results to that published by the best institutions in Western countries.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Radiotherapy refers to the precise delivery of a high energy of radiation targeted at the cancer. It is one of the commonest and one of the most effective treatment modality used for curative treatment of cancers. Whilst cure may not be possible in all cases, symptom control (palliation) is commonly achieved with the appropriate use of radiation therapy. This includes the use of adaptive radiotherapy, 5-D Radiotherapy, Stereotactic Radiotherapy, Total Body Irradiation, Marrow irradiation, Arc Therapy, IGRT-IMRT, forward planned therapy and brachytherapy.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\"

This post-specialization training course aims to train Radiation Oncologists in Clinical Oncology along with applied research in four thematic areas. The course will not only impart skills in Clinical Oncology through practical and didactic clinical training but also train the participant in conducting advanced, cross-disciplinary research. The Clinical Oncology curriculum is aligned with the Fellowship of the Royal College of Radiologists curriculum and makes extensive use of online education. The participants will also receive training in IIT Kharagpur and have dedicated research time that will allow them to conduct research in both centres. This a three-year course divided into six semesters culminating a certificate endorsed from IIT Kharagpur and Tata Medical Center. Candidates would be earning credit points for Clinical Oncology work as well as research and will be required to present a dissertation for the completion of the certificate course.<\/p>\n<p>We believe that oncologists of the future must have excellent training in modern radiation oncology, but also have a good grounding in the basic science of oncology, statistics and the use of systemic therapies. A dedicated exposure to research in cross-disciplinary sciences, including imaging, basic sciences, drug development or information technology will provide a pathway to get prepared for a rapidly changing field where your success depends on breaking new ground. Trainees who successfully complete this course will be able to find career opportunities in clinics, clinical and basic research as well as the industry and be leaders of the future.<\/p>\n<table width=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"147\"><strong>Course Duration<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"414\">3 years\u00a0 with a dedicated training period in IIT Kharagpur<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"147\"><strong>Location<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"414\">Tata Medical Center and IIT Kharagpur (SMST)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"147\"><strong>Selection Criteria<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"414\">MD \/ DNB\u00a0 in Radiotherapy.
