Job description

About The Opportunity

A rapidly expanding healthcare group in India, we\'re building high-impact oncology care hubs focused on precision surgery, multidisciplinary tumor boards, and patient-centric cancer outcomes. Our Surgical Oncology teams work alongside medical oncologists, radiologists, and pathologists to deliver cutting- edge, stage-appropriate interventions—from minimally invasive resections to complex reconstructive procedures—across major cancer types including breast, GI, thoracic, and head & neck.

• Perform complex oncologic surgeries including radical resections, lymph node dissections, and reconstructive procedures with clear intent for curative or palliative outcomes.


• Lead or actively participate in multidisciplinary tumor board meetings to align surgical strategy with systemic and radiation oncology plans.


• Ensure adherence to NCCN/ESMO guidelines, oncologic margins protocols, and evidence- based staging/treatment pathways.


• Collaborate with anesthesiology, ICU, and palliative care teams for perioperative optimization and post- op recovery planning.


• Contribute to clinical audits, surgical outcome tracking, and institutional benchmarking to improve survival and quality- of-life metrics.


• Mentor residents and fellows in surgical techniques, oncologic principles, and intraoperative decision-making under high- stakes conditions.
