ABSTRACT
The incidence of cancer in Malaysia is rising alarmingly and newly qualified doctors will be expected to be competent in the basic management of cancer patients. However, the opportunity to gain experience in oncology management will remain limited unless these students are stationed in an oncology unit which is solely dedicated to the treatment of such patients. Therefore, it is essential that undergraduate medical school training equips students with a sound knowledgebase, so that they can confidently manage basic oncological conditions appropriately. With the many private and local medical universities across the country, it is important that oncology training be standardized and reflective of the local resources available, and government health policies. As a result, having a standardized curriculum would help create a framework whereby competencies in cancer management would be accurately assessed.
