8th GLOBAL CANCER SUMMIT – 2027
Aizawl, Mizoram, Northeast India
The 8th Global Cancer Summit 2027, organised by BioGenesis Health Cluster, aims to address the growing burden of cancer across the eight northeastern states of India. The summit seeks to bring together clinicians, oncologists, scientists, researchers, healthcare professionals, policymakers, social organisations and international experts on a common platform to strengthen cancer awareness, prevention, early diagnosis, treatment and research. Through a collaborative and people-centred approach, the conference aspires to bring scientific knowledge and modern healthcare technologies closer to the communities most affected by cancer.
Specialised Workshops on Cancer Awareness, Prevention and Treatment
The two-day summit will feature specialised workshops focusing on cancers that significantly affect women and men. Women's cancer sessions will cover breast, cervical and ovarian cancers, while sessions addressing cancers affecting men will focus on oral, stomach and lung cancers. These workshops will incorporate expert presentations, practical demonstrations, educational materials and accessible explanations of cancer risk factors, warning signs, screening methods, early diagnosis and available treatment approaches. The objective is to translate complex scientific information into practical knowledge that individuals, families and communities can understand and use.
Community Awareness and Public Participation
A major component of the summit will be dedicated to public awareness and community engagement. We aim to engage approximately 200 women in breast cancer awareness activities and 200 men in oral cancer awareness activities, subject to local participation and programme arrangements. These focused sessions will encourage people to recognise early warning signs, understand the importance of timely medical consultation and learn about available screening and treatment services. The findings, concerns and community perspectives emerging from these activities will help bring important cancer-related challenges to the attention of the Mizoram government and other relevant health authorities, supporting informed discussion on future public health initiatives.
International Scientific Exchange and Adoption of Advanced Technologies
The summit will invite distinguished speakers from India and abroad to share their expertise in contemporary oncology, emerging diagnostic methods, treatment innovations and the adoption of appropriate technologies in cancer care. Discussions will address advances in cancer research, personalised medicine, molecular diagnostics, targeted therapies, immunotherapy, cancer prevention and improved treatment strategies. By encouraging collaboration between research institutions, hospitals, government agencies and international partners, the summit aims to identify practical approaches that can strengthen cancer services across northeastern India, particularly in underserved and geographically challenging communities.
Encouraging Young Scientists and Future Oncology Researchers
The summit recognises the vital contribution of young scientists, research scholars and early-career healthcare professionals to the future of cancer research. Dedicated scientific sessions will provide opportunities to present research findings, exchange ideas with experienced oncologists and explore emerging areas of investigation. The programme will encourage young researchers to pursue innovative approaches in cancer biology, early detection, drug discovery, translational research and affordable treatment technologies. By nurturing scientific curiosity, interdisciplinary collaboration and research participation, the summit seeks to build a stronger generation of oncology researchers committed to addressing cancer as a major challenge to human health.
Our Vision
The 8th Global Cancer Summit 2027 aspires to establish a meaningful platform connecting scientific innovation, community awareness, accessible healthcare and collaborative cancer research. By bringing the eight northeastern states together with national and international experts, the summit aims to promote a shared commitment to reducing the burden of cancer and improving the quality of life of affected individuals and their families.
Our guiding principle is simple: bring knowledge to the people, encourage early detection, strengthen research and work collectively towards more accessible and effective cancer care for all.
