PSCO brings together a diverse international community of Clinical Oncologists, Radiation oncologists, Medical oncologists, Medical physicists and other healthcare professionals to encourage communication and interactive networking amongst one another, as well as to exchange first-hand scientific and research information on the latest developments in the field of Oncology.

As the field of Oncology continues to develop with increased studies, research, and new technologies, the aim of the PSCO is to broaden the scope of this unique National forum and to gather an audience interested in Clinical Oncology, Surgery, Radiology, Pathology, and multidisciplinary management of cancer patients related topics during the annual conference and Exhibition.
