    Over 350 oncologists and cancer specialists from seven South Asian countries have gathered in Birtamode for the Purbanchal Cancer Conference-2025. The three-day event, which began on Friday, aims to discuss advancements in cancer treatment, share experiences, and promote awareness.

    Focus on Advancements in Cancer Treatment

    Speaking at the inauguration, Professor Dr. Madan Kumar Piya, founding president of the SAARC Federation of Oncologists Nepal, highlighted the role of technology in fighting cancer. He explained that cancer can affect every part of the human body except nails and hair. Thus, early detection and innovative treatment are essential.

    Dr. Piya also emphasized public awareness. He noted that educating people can help prevent and manage the disease more effectively. Furthermore, he stressed that international conferences like this play a key role in medical knowledge exchange. He urged media outlets to spread awareness, reminding people that cancer is a “conquerable disease.”

    Global Health Challenge and Importance of Collaboration

    Professor Dr. Umesh Sharma, Principal of B&C Medical College and chair of the conference, pointed out that cancer remains a serious global health issue. However, he expressed confidence that the event would help improve treatment strategies in the region.

    Dr. Birendra Yadav, Medical Director of Purbanchal Cancer Hospital, stated that the conference focuses on the rising cases of breast and gastrointestinal cancer. Experts will discuss new treatment methods, early detection techniques, and the role of technology in improving patient outcomes.

    Exchange of Knowledge and Personal Experiences

    Purbanchal Cancer Hospital hosts an international conference every two years. This year, 100 expert doctors have gathered to present research papers and share insights on recent advancements. Cancer survivors will also share personal experiences, demonstrating the impact of early detection and modern treatments.

    Pramish Giri, the event’s public relations officer, stated that this year’s conference emphasizes best practices from different countries. The goal is to strengthen regional cooperation in cancer treatment and prevention.

    Alarming Rise in Cancer Cases in Nepal

    Recent data from Purbanchal Cancer Hospital show a sharp increase in cancer cases across Nepal. Over the past five years, breast cancer has been the most common, with 814 recorded cases. Lung cancer follows closely, with 805 cases. Cervical cancer ranks third, while ear, nose, and throat (ENT) cancers are the fourth most prevalent.

    Experts at the conference linked the rise in cases to lifestyle changes, environmental factors, and lack of awareness. They stressed the need for better screening programs, early diagnosis, and improved access to healthcare facilities.

    A Step Forward in Regional Cancer Research

    The conference aims to foster regional collaboration in cancer research and treatment. With oncologists from India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bhutan, the Maldives, and Nepal in attendance, it marks an important step in strengthening South Asia’s healthcare partnerships.
