The MVR CANCON (Consensus and Controversies in Oncology) was conducted from 30th August to 1st September 2019.
EVENT INVITATION
Dear Colleague,
Once again we invite you to Calicut, the spice capital of Kerala, for MVR CANCON (Consensus and Controversies in Oncology) which is scheduled form 30th August to 1st September 2019.
Metastasis, often considered an inefficient process, where a malignant tumor cell seeds into a congenial soil, is considered the ultimate expression of cellular anarchy. Increased understanding of the process of metastatic cascade has offered more insights into cancer stem cells, the effect of micro environment, the immune surveillance process etc. and these inputs from cancer biology are helping us to treat the metastatic disease better. Aggressive Surgical and Radiation modalities have led to the description of a new paradigm of oligo metastasis where at times questions are asked about actually curing metastatic disease rather than just converting them to a chronic manageable disease. Despite all these, in the real world, Metastasis still account for 90% of cancer deaths and the socio economic burden in a society like India is often challenging.
It is in this scenario MVRCCRI has decided to bring together all the stake holders interested in the various aspect of metastatic disease under one umbrella in CANCON 2019. In addition to the main aspects of the meeting we are also planning to have a series of dedicated round table of leading experts who will brain storm regarding the various vexing questions on metastatic disease and will present their consensus conclusions as a fitting finale for CANCON.
CONFERENCE HIGHLIGHTS:
• Renowned National and International Faculty • Dedicated Round Table of Experts
