I feel immense pleasure in writing these lines as patron of Pakistan society of clinical oncology on the eve of its 21st meeting ONCO 2017 being held at Faisalabad. These meetings provide opportunities both for the expert and novice to refresh and keep themselves abreast of the new developments and the state of the art in the field, in this case oncology.
I congratulate the organizers lead by Professor Khalid for putting up excellent academic program in this meeting. I also congratulate members of the executive council especially Prof Ahmed Ejaz Masood who have put in great efforts to make PSCO a platform for international meetings in collaboration with ESMO to be held outside Pakistan. Latest meeting at Singapore is one example.
On behalf of the society I extend a warm welcome to all delegates and the faculty from within the country and abroad. I am sure they will benefit from the deliberations of the conference.
