12th ISMPO Preceptorship Course at Marengo CIMS Hospital: Advancing Lung Cancer Care Through Multidisciplinary Excellence
Marengo CIMS Hospital, Ahmedabad, successfully hosted the 12th ISMPO Preceptorship Course, a premier lung cancer conference in India focused on advancing evidence-based, multidisciplinary cancer care. This two-day academic oncology program brought together leading experts in medical oncology, surgical oncology, radiation oncology, radiology, pathology, and molecular diagnostics, creating a robust platform for knowledge exchange and clinical skill enhancement.
Comprehensive Scientific Program Covering the Entire Lung Cancer Spectrum
The conference was meticulously designed to address the complete continuum of lung cancer management, from epidemiology and early detection to advanced molecular therapies. Day 1 emphasized the epidemiology of lung cancer in India, highlighting disease burden, smoking-related cancer risks, screening strategies, and lung cancer in the geriatric population. Sessions on malignant pleural effusion, early-stage lung cancer surgery, VATS lobectomy, peri-operative chemotherapy, and radiation therapy offered practical insights aligned with current clinical guidelines.
Interactive panel discussions and real-world case deliberations allowed participants to apply evidence-based principles to everyday clinical practice. The inauguration ceremony reinforced the importance of continuous medical education and collaborative learning in improving lung cancer outcomes.
Focus on Precision Oncology and Molecular Advances
sessions on Day 1 transitioned into molecular classification and systemic treatment of lung cancer, with in-depth discussions on next-generation sequencing (NGS), emerging antibody–drug conjugates (ADCs), and personalized treatment strategies. These sessions highlighted how precision oncology is transforming lung cancer diagnosis and therapy.
Small Cell Lung Cancer and Future Directions in Lung Oncology
Day 2 focused on Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC) and future directions in lung cancer care. Topics included pathology of NSCLC, neuroimaging, first-line systemic therapies, prophylactic cranial irradiation, surgical management in localized SCLC, and recent clinical trials. The final module explored future treatment strategies in NSCLC, including novel targeted therapies and the expanding role of radiation in advanced disease.
Purpose and Impact of the Conference
The primary objective of the ISMPO Preceptorship Course was to bridge the gap between clinical guidelines and real-world oncology practice, promote multidisciplinary collaboration, and equip clinicians with the latest advances in lung cancer management. By fostering academic dialogue, critical thinking, and hands-on learning, the conference strengthened the foundation for patient-centric, evidence-driven cancer care.
Through this landmark academic initiative, Marengo CIMS Hospital reaffirmed its role as a leading center for oncology education, lung cancer treatment, and medical excellence in India.
