The Department of Oncology offers an empathetic learning environment dedicated to understanding cancer biology, early diagnosis, and multi-modal cancer therapy. Combining medical, surgical, and radiation oncology principles, the department provides students with insight into chemotherapy administration, tumour staging, and palliative care. Through multidisciplinary team (MDT) discussions and day-care chemotherapy exposure, students learn to formulate comprehensive cancer management plans. Our faculty emphasizes compassionate communication, pain management, and holistic support, preparing future doctors to navigate the clinical and emotional complexities of cancer care.
