Track Categories
The track category is the heading under which your abstract will be reviewed and later published in the conference printed matters if accepted. During the submission process, you will be asked to select one track category for your abstract.
Oncology is the branch of medicine that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. When the cells don't obey the body’s control mechanism then the growth of cells becomes abnormal which results in cancer. Different types of cancer exist, each behaving differently despite its ability to grow, divide, and re-divide.

An Oncologist is specialized in the treatment of cancer. Oncologists diagnose cancer and identify treatment options. Oncologists are also known as specialists. The responsibilities are: explaining the cancer diagnosis and stage, when discussing treatment options and their preferred option, providing high-quality, compassionate care Assisting the patient in dealing with the symptoms and side effects of cancer and treatment.

Cancer is the abnormal and uncontrolled growth of cells that affects normal body tissues. The cancerous cells invade and spread to the other parts of the body through blood and lymph systems. Cancer cells can disrupt normal organ function when they develop. This can lead to a reduction in oxygen supply and the accumulation of waste products. It is possible to die if vital organ function is impaired. Worldwide cancer is the leading cause of death.

- Track 3-2 Sarcoma
- Track 3-3 Melanoma
Cancer is mainly classified into four stages; the fourth stage is the most dangerous. The early stage of cancer is Stage I which affects a small area. Stage II Cancerous cell grows and doesn’t spread to lymph systems. Stage III Cancerous cells spread to lymph systems and other tissues. Stage IV is known as metastatic or advanced cancer in which the cancerous cells spread to other organs of the body.

Oncogenesis is the transformation of healthy cells into cancer cells. A series of genetic and cellular changes, including oncogene activation, causes the cell to divide uncontrollably. Oncogenesis which is occurring in cancer patients and cannot be reversed. Many cancer treatments aim to eliminate cancerous cells from the body.
- Track 5-1 Molecular Oncogenesis
- Track 5-2 Human viral Oncogenesis
Our cells are genetically designed to perform a variety of tasks throughout our lives. New cells are needed to replace worn-out cells that die in a predictable cycle. When a cell's DNA becomes faulty, the cells can begin to expand uncontrollably, resulting in the formation of a tumor – a 'swelling,' but in the context of cancer, the term refers to abnormal tissue growth.
