Pfizer Fellowships in Oncology

Overview

One of the most significant medical advances in the past 20 years is the discovery of agents that target the specific molecules that control cell growth or blood supply to cancerous tumors. Using targeted therapies alone or in combination with other pharmaceutical, radiologic, or surgical interventions has significantly improved survival, decreased adverse events, and improved quality of life for patients with cancer.

Applications for this fellowship program are welcome from institutions and programs that focus on educating clinicians on the diagnosis, individualized treatment, and supportive care of patients with neoplastic disorders (hematologic or solid tumors).
