The Fortis Cancer Institute hosted Fortis Cancer Summit 2026, an international conference on 2 and 3 May 2026 at Hotel Andaz, New Delhi, bringing together leading minds in oncology along with cancer research experts from India and across the world, to collectively shape the future of cancer care.
The summit brought together over 50 premier cancer centers across India, along with 500+ national faculty and 100+ international faculty representing 25 countries, creating one of the most influential global platforms for oncology dialogue and exchange of best practices.
With participation from over 1200 delegates and 150 oncology students, the national capital emerged as a global oncology village fostering scientific exchange, innovation and collaboration in cancer care.
At a time, when cancer treatment guidelines vary across geographies, the conference was built around a powerful and forward-looking theme, ‘Beyond Evidence-Based Oncology’ emphasizing the translation of evolving evidence into real-world clinical practice.
The summit featured 25+ Thematic Sessions, ranging from organ-specific oncology sessions to multidisciplinary discussions and hands-on workshops, each designed to deliver practical insights, evolving evidence, and real-world applications across cancer care.
The summit featured renowned global experts across multiple oncology disciplines, including pioneers in Proton therapy, MR – guided radiotherapy (MR Linac), radiation oncology, medical oncology, surgical oncology, hematology, pediatric hematology, gynae oncology and genomics reinforcing its focus on integrated, next-generation cancer care.
Iliya Karniliyus Salu, chief medical director, Trust Charitos Hospital Abuja, Nigeria said, “Cancer care today demands stronger global collaboration than ever before, as the challenges we face are increasingly complex and universal. Platforms like the Fortis Cancer Summit are critical in bringing together diverse clinical experiences, research advancements, and technological innovations from across geographies. The theme ‘Beyond Evidence-Based Oncology’ is particularly relevant, as the future of cancer care.”
Dr Nitesh Rohatgi, principal director, medical oncology, Fortis Memorial Research Institute, Gurugram said, “The future of cancer care lies in collaboration, innovation, and the ability to adapt evidence into personalized patient care pathways. Through the Fortis Cancer Summit, we are creating an ecosystem where clinicians, researchers, and young oncology professionals can exchange insights, challenge conventional approaches, and explore the next frontier of cancer management. This summit is not just about knowledge-sharing; it is about building a stronger, globally aligned oncology community committed to transforming patient outcomes.”
