A good MCh Surgical Oncology thesis uses the large volume of cancer surgery in Indian centres to study staging, operative technique, perioperative care or early oncological outcome. Prospective studies of complications, margin status, nodal yield, or the diagnostic accuracy of imaging and frozen section are feasible within the MCh course. Oral cavity, gallbladder, oesophageal, breast and cervical cancers are common in India and raise research questions that Western series rarely address.
The catalogue covers GI Cancer Surgery, Head & Neck Oncology, Breast Cancer Surgery, Perioperative Oncology, Gynaecological Oncology, Sarcoma & Melanoma, Thoracic Oncology and Genitourinary Oncology. Titles include pulmonary complications after oesophagectomy, superior sulcus tumours, margins in extremity sarcoma, dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans, retroperitoneal liposarcoma and acral lentiginous melanoma. Objectives or a full synopsis can be bought for any title.

5Tips for choosing a MCh Surgical Oncology topic
- Grade complications with the Clavien-Dindo classification, stage tumours with the current AJCC TNM system, and agree with pathology on synoptic reporting of margins and lymph nodes.
- Survival and recurrence outcomes need years; choose early endpoints such as complications, margin status, nodal yield or quality of life, or combine prospective cases with a retrospective series.
- Sentinel node, frozen section and minimally invasive studies depend on equipment, dyes or isotopes and trained staff; confirm availability and cost to patients before choosing the title.
- Use validated quality-of-life tools such as the EORTC questionnaires in the patient's language, and schedule follow-up alongside chemotherapy or radiotherapy visits to reduce losses.
For the general checklist (patient load, timeline, cost, ethics), see how to choose an MD/MS thesis topic. Every titles page for other specialities is listed on thesis topics by speciality.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to common questions on this topic
Studies of perioperative outcomes, complications, margin status, nodal yield, frozen section accuracy and early quality of life are realistic. Common Indian cancers such as oral cavity, breast, gallbladder and oesophageal cancer provide enough patients. Long-term survival or recurrence studies usually need more time than the course allows.
It is possible for perioperative questions, such as drains, analgesia, prehabilitation or energy devices, where both arms are standard practice. Randomising the cancer operation itself is rarely feasible for a thesis. Register with CTRI, obtain ethics approval and make sure the multidisciplinary tumour board agrees with the protocol.
It is essential. Margins, nodal counts, tumour regression grades and staging all come from the pathology report, so agree in advance on grossing protocols and synoptic reporting. Inconsistent reporting is a common reason for weak results. Involve a pathologist as co-guide if your university allows it.
Use them as starting points. Discuss the title with your guide, check that it fits your department's patients and facilities, check it has not already been done at your institution, and adjust the wording before you submit it to your ethics committee.
