Complex General Surgical Oncology (CGSO) fellowship graduates, while generally feeling prepared for practice, expressed concerns about research and specific clinical areas like thoracic, hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC), and hepato-pancreato-biliary surgery. The study reveals potential gaps between trainee expectations and surgical oncology practice realities, suggesting opportunities to refine the training model. Improvements, such as increased autonomy, case volumes, and enhanced research infrastructure, could better align fellowship training with the needs of practicing surgical oncologists.
