DM [Oncology]

Curriculum
I. Practical Laboratory Training
A. General Hematology and Oncology
1. Proper use and care of common instruments such as light microscope, centrifuge,
water baths, freezers etc.
2. Blood sample collection - venepuncture and finger prick methods of sample
collection, types of anticoagulants, containers and the effects of delay in processing
and storage.
3. Review of normal and abnormal blood films with emphasis on morphology of red
cells, white cells and platelets.
4. Performance of bone marrow aspiration; trephine needle biopsy
5. Staining and diagnostic evaluation of bone marrow aspirates. Interpretation of
cytochemical stains including Sudan Black, Myleloperoxidase, specific and non
specific esterases, acid phosphatase, PAS and iron staining.
B. Cytogenetics
Familiarisation with cytogenetics, understanding the principles of cytogenetics and
appreciating the relevance and significance of chromosomes in diagnostic hematology
and oncology
C. Transfusion Medicine
1. Donor evaluation & recruitment.
2. Clinical evaluation and screening of patients and donors for hematopoietic
stem cell transplantation.
3. Phlebotomy of donors.
4. Collection, cryopreservation and storage of hematopoietic stem cells.
D. Flow Cytometery
A working knowledge of the principle and practice of flowcytometery and
interpretation of the clinical significance of common leukocyte immunophenotypes.
E. Molecular Biology Module
Understanding the principles involved in the molecular diagnosis of hematological and
oncological disorders.
1. PCR
2. FISH
3. RFLP and Southern Blotting.
4. Microarray technology
II. Clinical Oncology Training
With appropriate guidance and under supervision, the post graduate trainee will be
responsible primarily for the acquisition of knowledge in all areas of oncology. Such
knowledge will be acquired and demonstrated through seminars, case presentations,
journal clubs, tutorials and proper use of library for suggested reading and formal reviews
of major selected topics. Faculty staff should be present at these various exercises so as
to provide the appropriate inputs. When necessary faculty staff may be required to review
certain subjects in form of formal lectures. Clinical experience will be acquired by the
trainee by day to day management of all patients admitted to the various oncology
services. Faculty will also be involved in teaching of trainees in the ward-rounds and
outpatient clinics.
