The event focuses on discussing the latest advances and innovations in cancer care, navigating the evolving landscape from contemporary treatments to precision oncology.
Being held from November 8th to 10th, the conclave provides a dynamic platform for healthcare professionals to engage in panel discussions, workshops, and research presentations. The keynote and the many sessions offer invaluable insights into both established and emerging cancer care treatments and management strategies. With seven organ-specific scientific tracks, more than 100 sessions, and numerous interactive discussions, the Apollo Cancer Conclave is firmly established as the cornerstone event in oncology. It is now a key fixture on the healthcare calendar for oncology specialists dedicated to combating cancer more effectively and empathetically.
Dr. Elisabete Weiderpass, Director of the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) at the World Health Organization, remarked,“IARC’s 2022 estimates show that the global cancer burden is projected to rise from 20 million new cases in 2022 to 35 million by 2050, primarily impacting low- and middle-income countries. In India, the cancer burden is expected to rise from 1.41 million new cases in 2022 to 2.69 million in 2050. With this alarming prediction, prevention has become the key response to the cancer epidemic. Initiatives like the Apollo Cancer Conclave 2024 offer an invaluable platform to raise awareness among local experts. At IARC, our vision is a world where fewer people develop cancer, and this requires proactive, evidence-based strategies in prevention and early detection. The Conclave has been a remarkable opportunity to share these strategies and strengthen our collective mission.”
