The 2nd ICC 2017 is a quadrennial conference, which will be held in various parts of the Indian subcontinent once every four years.

This conference is an amalgamation of the four major national oncology associations and all other sub specialty associations to improve quality of cancer care.

On behalf of my fellow members of the local and national organising committees I cordially invite you to participate in the 2nd ICC 2017 to be held in the silicon valley of India BENGALURU and the state of Karnataka which has brought about some of the revolutionary changes in the field of medical education and also united scientists & oncologists for the advancement of medical science.

The members of the organising committee have been keen to ensure that every aspect of this conference is being looked into and are making headway in development and creation of this event.

It is imperative that we define our goals clearly in order to improve the academic standards and enter the space of global leadership, building clear partnership to progress in the field of oncology across the globe.

I foresee various challenges in the coming years, but these are summons with opportunities that will help make a difference.

The foremost requirement in our field of medicine is to prioritise our objective to improve the academic standing of oncology of India.
