Dear Colleague,
Cancer is a multisystem disease, and its treatment is evolving continuously. Treatment principles once considered standard are now obsolete and disease once concerned untreatable are now well manageable.
February 4th is observed as World Cancer Day, when organisations and individuals around the world unite to raise awareness about cancer and work together to make cancer care a healthcare priority. The theme for the day for the years 2025 to 2027 is ‘UNITED by UNIQUE’. Being the flag bearers of the day, eminent oncologists from prestigious institutions across Kerala and Tamil Nadu join us for a CME on current trends in the management of various cancers and beyond.
It is a great pleasure for us at ‘Believers Institute of Cancer Care’ to invite you to be part of the ONCOLOGY CME to be held at our Convention Centre in Thiruvalla on Sunday,1st February 2026. This will be a unique forum for physicians and surgeons to review and discuss advances in treatment of various malignancy.
The Registration for the CME is FREE but compulsory.
We hope to see you on February 1st at Thiruvalla !
