Understanding the need of the hour, the members of the top four oncology associations of our country, viz. Association of Radiation Oncologists of India (AROI), Indian Association of Surgical Oncologists (IASO), Indian Society of Medical and Pediatric Oncology (ISMPO) and Indian Society of Oncology (ISO), mandated their representatives to join hands and come together for the First Indian Cancer Congress and co-host the event.
To build trust and ensure transparency a ‘Memorandum of Understanding’ was developed and signed amongst them in January 2012. The responsibility to do the first event on these lines was given to the ‘Oncology Forum’ of Delhi.
