Dear Colleagues and Friends,

We are delighted to invite you to the 25th Shaukat Khanum Cancer Symposium (SKCS), taking place from November 6 to 8, 2026, at the Pearl Continental Hotel in the historic city of Lahore, Pakistan. This landmark year celebrates 25 years of SKCS, bringing together the brightest minds in cancer research, clinical care, and allied health.

Over the past 25 years, ideas and collaborations fostered through this annual symposium have played a vital role in transforming cancer care for patients and families across Pakistan. Continuing our tradition, this year’s symposium will once again be held in a hybrid format, enabling participants to attend either in person or virtually from around the world.

We warmly welcome researchers, clinicians, nurses, and allied health professionals to engage in three days of learning, collaboration, and inspiration. The program will feature keynote lectures, scientific sessions, and interactive discussions focusing on the latest advances in cancer science, innovative care models, and solutions for resource-limited settings.

We would be honored to have you join us in celebrating this important milestone and contributing to a vibrant, engaging, and forward-looking scientific community.

With warm regards,
