TACOS 2026: Innovate, Integrate, Inspire the Future of Cancer Care
TACOS 2026, the Dedicated Thoracic and Colorectal Oncology Summit, is a landmark academic event designed to unite expertise and advance evidence-based cancer care. Organised by Marengo CIMS Hospital – Humane by Practice, this two-day summit will be held on 21–22 February 2026 at Hyatt, Vastrapur, Ahmedabad, bringing together leading minds in surgical, medical, and radiation oncology.
Guided by the theme “Innovate • Integrate • Inspire” and the powerful motto “Seats Fill Fast. Science Moves Faster.”, TACOS 2026 aims to bridge cutting-edge research with real-world clinical practice. The summit offers a focused academic experience across thoracic, esophageal, and colorectal oncology, highlighting advances in minimally invasive and robotic surgery, precision staging, multimodality treatment, MRI- and molecular-driven decision-making, total neoadjuvant therapy, and organ preservation strategies.
The scientific program features state-of-the-art lectures, expert panel discussions, video-based surgical masterclasses, multidisciplinary tumor boards, and live surgical demonstrations. A call for abstracts encourages clinicians and researchers to present papers and posters, with awards recognising academic excellence.
Supported by the Association of Physicians of Gujarat, Indian Society of Oncology, Ahmedabad Surgeons Association, and Association of Ahmedabad Surgeons, TACOS 2026 promises rich academic exchange and meaningful collaboration.
