FELLOWSHIP IN NEURO ONCOLOGY

Advance your expertise in brain and spinal cord cancer care with MGA’s Fellowship in Neuro Oncology. This 12-month programme covers gliomas, meningiomas, medulloblastomas and CNS metastases through online training, structured learning and expert mentorship. Develop knowledge in neuroimaging, neuropathology, molecular diagnostics, stereotactic radiosurgery, immunotherapy and precision oncology while strengthening your clinical decision-making.


About the Programme

MGA's Fellowship in Neuro Oncology is a 12-month advanced multidisciplinary online fellowship for doctors who want to specialise in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of primary and metastatic brain and spinal cord tumors — gliomas, meningiomas, medulloblastomas, and CNS metastases. This neuro oncology fellowship brings together neurosurgery, neuroimaging, neuropathology, radiation oncology, and medical oncology into one practical, integrated approach — mirroring the real clinical environment where diagnosis, tumor profiling, treatment, and follow-up are fully interconnected.

The online neuro oncology fellowship curriculum spans 20+ modules — covering advanced neuroimaging, neuropathology, molecular diagnostics, awake craniotomy principles, stereotactic radiosurgery, immunotherapy, AI-assisted radiomics, precision oncology, pediatric neuro-oncology, palliative care, and neurogenetics. This fellowship combines evidence-based academic learning with expert faculty guidance from India's leading neuro-oncologists, neurosurgeons, and radiation oncology specialists, free study materials, e-library access, CPD certification, and one year of structured mentorship — making it one of the most comprehensive neuro oncology fellowship programs available for working doctors across India.

"This Fellowship in Neuro Oncology represents a shift from general neurology or oncology practice to providing specialised, precise care — expert-level management of complex brain and spinal tumors using sophisticated, multidisciplinary technology in a patient-centred manner."
