The Fortis Cancer Institute will host the 2nd Fortis Cancer Summit from May 1 to 3, 2026, bringing together leading oncologists, national and international experts, and multidisciplinary specialists under one platform. Organisers aim to create a dynamic forum for knowledge exchange, collaboration, and forward-looking discussions in cancer care.
Theme Focus: Moving Beyond Evidence-Based Oncology
This year’s theme, “Beyond Evidence-Based Oncology,” reflects a significant shift in cancer care. While clinicians have long relied on evidence-based medicine as the gold standard, experts now emphasize the need to integrate real-world data, personalized therapies, and patient-centric approaches.
Accordingly, the summit will explore how advancements such as artificial intelligence, patient-reported outcomes, and cutting-edge technologies are transforming oncology practice. These discussions will highlight how innovation and clinical intuition can complement traditional evidence to improve patient outcomes.
Advancing Multidisciplinary and Precision Oncology
Moreover, the summit will focus on strengthening multidisciplinary care models. Experts will discuss practical approaches to cancer treatment that combine surgical, medical, and radiation oncology with community-driven initiatives.
In addition, sessions will spotlight the rapid evolution of precision oncology. Speakers will examine how molecular profiling, biomarkers, and individualized treatment strategies are reshaping cancer management in India and globally.
Emphasis on Emerging Therapies
As per the Fortis website, the program will also highlight breakthroughs in immunotherapy and antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs). These emerging therapies are expected to revolutionize oncology care in the coming years. As a result, the summit aims to prepare clinicians for a significant shift in treatment paradigms over the next five years.
Encouraging Research and Collaboration
Furthermore, organisers will promote academic and clinical research by fostering partnerships between healthcare institutions and industry stakeholders. By sharing best practices and advanced knowledge, the summit seeks to elevate the overall standard of oncology care.
Networking and Knowledge Exchange Opportunities
Beyond scientific sessions, the event will offer extensive networking opportunities. Delegates will engage with oncology specialists, industry leaders, and decision-makers from tertiary and super-specialty hospitals, thereby strengthening professional collaborations.
Shaping the Future of Cancer Care
At its core, the Fortis Cancer Summit 2026 aims to facilitate meaningful dialogue among oncologists, general physicians, researchers, and emerging professionals. Ultimately, the organisers intend for the summit to influence and shape the future of cancer care through collaboration and innovation.
The Fortis Cancer Institute expects the summit to inspire new perspectives and drive a more holistic, patient-centered approach to oncology practice.
