Fellowship in Orthopedic Oncology — Programme Overview

About the Programme

MGA's Fellowship in Orthopedic Oncology is a 12-month advanced subspecialty program for doctors with a minimum of 4 years of clinical experience who want to build expert-level expertise in the diagnosis, surgical management, and multidisciplinary care of bone and soft tissue tumors. This is one of the most clinically demanding and professionally rewarding subspecialties in surgery — and this fellowship is built to prepare you for it.

The program covers the complete spectrum of orthopedic oncology — from initial consultation and imaging interpretation to biopsy techniques, tumor excision, limb salvage procedures, endoprosthetic reconstruction, and rehabilitation. MGA provides structured evening classes, 100% recorded lectures, free study materials, and supervised learning — all designed around your existing practice schedule. You will work alongside experienced orthopedic oncologists and collaborate with radiology, pathology, medical oncology, and rehabilitation specialists throughout the program.

"Fellows develop the clinical confidence to independently manage complex bone and soft tissue tumor cases — from diagnosis through surgery and rehabilitation — contributing to multidisciplinary oncology teams across India's leading cancer and orthopedic centers."
