The Beginning
At just over 35 years as a recognized specialty, medical oncology is a relatively young but rapidly evolving discipline, which poses significant challenges for those working in the field. These challenges include the need to continue research to determine optimal methods of treatment, to keep abreast of new developments and to ensure that the legislative and operating environment affecting the practice of medical oncology.
Moves to establish a society to represent medical oncologists in Bangladesh began in July 2014 , against a background of major challenges in comprehensive cancer treatment with limited resources. A working party under the chairmanship of Professor Parveen Shahida Akhtar was established to consider an appropriate organization, its aims and its relationship with other societies and organizations. After a brief discussion with country’s famous oncologist, physicians and surgeons, 18th February 2015, the Medical Oncology Society in Bangladesh (MOSB) was established under the inaugural chairmanship of Professor Parveen Shahida Akhtar.

Our Current Situation and Recommandation
At present, National Institute of Cancer Research & Hospital (NICRH), Shaheed Sohrawardi Medical College & Hospital and Combined Military hospital (CMH) have medical oncology department. Every Year four student will get the chance at medical Oncology post-graduation (MD) in National Institute of cancer Research. According to National Health Bulletin 2017, Medical Oncology department of NICRH served 49.8% of total indoor cancer patient. To ensure the comprehensive cancer management for all people by Vision 2030, it is mandatory to expand the medical oncology service at every tertiary level hospital in Bangladesh. The recommendations are following:
-
To establish a National Cancer monitoring cell including all stakeholders
-
To ensure Medical Oncology service at every Tertiary level of Hospital by starting an individual department of Medical Oncology.
-
Post-graduation seat In MD (Medical Oncology) should be increased at least 15 in number per year
