Annual General Meeting & Scientific Conference
Welcome Address
On behalf of the Local Organizing Committee (LOC), it is my distinct honour and privilege to warmly welcome all distinguished guests, esteemed colleagues, delegates, and partners to the 9th Conference of the Association of Radiation and Clinical Oncologists of Nigeria.
We are delighted to host you in the serene and captivating city of Abuja from September 14th to 17th, 2026. This gathering represents not only a convergence of professionals but a shared commitment to advancing the frontiers of cancer care in Nigeria and across the continent.
From Access to Excellence: Optimizing Multimodality Cancer Care
The theme of this year's conference, "From Access to Excellence: Optimizing Multimodality Cancer Care," emphasizes the shift from simply providing access to cancer services toward delivering high-quality, patient-centered care that meets global standards. It highlights the need to go beyond availability by ensuring that cancer care is effective, coordinated, and capable of producing improved outcomes for patients.
It also underscores the importance of integrating multiple treatment approaches such as surgery, radiotherapy, and systemic therapies through strong multidisciplinary collaboration. By strengthening healthcare systems, enhancing expertise, and embracing innovation, this theme encourages the adoption of best practices that will elevate cancer care to a level of excellence across the region.
A Tradition of Excellence
Over the years, ARCON conferences have evolved into a cornerstone for professional development, scientific discourse, and policy engagement within the oncology community. The 9th edition builds on this legacy, offering a rich programme of keynote lectures, scientific sessions, hands-on workshops, and networking opportunities designed to inspire innovation and strengthen capacity.
Experience Abuja – The Heart of Nigeria
Beyond the scientific engagements, we invite you to experience the dynamic appeal of Abuja—the capital city of Nigeria, known for its modern infrastructure, serene environment, and rich cultural diversity. From its iconic landmarks such as Aso Rock and Millennium Park to its well-planned cityscape and vibrant lifestyle, Abuja offers a perfect blend of business and leisure.
We have made comprehensive arrangements to ensure your comfort, safety, and an overall rewarding conference experience in this prestigious and welcoming city.
A Shared Vision for the Future
As we convene for this important event, we encourage you to actively engage, connect, and contribute meaningfully. Together, through shared expertise and collaboration, we can drive sustainable progress in cancer prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and care delivery in Nigeria and beyond.
We look forward to your valuable participation and wish you a productive and memorable conference.
