Tata Memorial Centre (TMC) is one of the world’s oldest and largest cancer centres, with over 80 years of excellence in patient care, advanced cancer research, and high-quality oncology training. Over the decades, TMC has grown in scale and reputation, consistently remaining at the forefront of national and global cancer control efforts.
Compassionate, patient-centred care is at the heart of TMC’s mission. Eleven multidisciplinary Disease Management Groups ensure seamless collaboration across specialties, enabling evidence-based and individualized care tailored to each patient’s clinical, emotional, and psychosocial needs.
TMC’s researchers are global leaders in basic, translational, epidemiological, and clinical cancer research. Their work spans cancer biology, large community screening programs, cohort studies, treatment trials, perioperative studies, drug repurposing, survivorship research, and analyses of patient pathways—all focused on improving survival and enhancing quality of life.
Training and education are core priorities at TMC, making it India’s most sought-after institution for oncology training. With world-class faculty and some of the highest clinical volumes globally, TMC takes pride in its alumni, many of whom now lead major cancer centres across India and abroad.
TMC acknowledges the continuous support of the Department of Atomic Energy, Government of India, which has enabled its long-term growth and adaptability. One of the most significant achievements is the establishment of the National Cancer Grid—the largest cancer network in the world. With over 300 partnering cancer centres, research institutions, patient advocacy groups, and professional bodies, the Grid works to standardize cancer care and advance collaborative research nationally and internationally.
As TMC embarks on a major expansion to quadruple its patient care capacity and broaden its geographic footprint, it remains committed to upholding the highest standards of cancer care. This growth marks a renewed dedication to the values and excellence that have defined Tata Memorial Centre for more than eight decades.
