The 2nd Edition of ET Edge Onco Frontiers Summit 2025

Overview

Cancer remains one of the most pressing public health challenges globally and in India. According to estimates, new cancer cases among males in India are projected to rise from 0.589 million in 2011 to 0.934 million by 2026, while cases among females are expected to increase from 0.603 million to 0.935 million. Alarmingly, one in five people worldwide will develop cancer in their lifetime.

Despite rapid advancements in oncology—including innovations in diagnostics, targeted therapies, and supportive care—barriers to accessibility, affordability, and equitable treatment continue to pose significant challenges in India. However, at least 40% of all cancer cases could be prevented with effective primary prevention measures, and mortality rates can be significantly reduced through early detection and timely intervention.

The 2nd Edition of ET Edge Onco Frontiers Summit 2025 aims to bring together leading oncologists, healthcare experts, pharmaceutical innovators, policymakers, and patient advocacy groups to address these pressing concerns. This summit will serve as a platform to discuss the latest breakthroughs, examine critical challenges, and explore collaborative solutions to advance oncology care in India.

The 2nd Edition of ET Edge Onco Frontiers Summit 2025  brings together leaders in oncology, healthcare innovation, policy, and research to discuss the future of cancer care in India. From global trends to local breakthroughs, this evening summit features keynote addresses, high-impact panel discussions, fireside chats, and partner-led sessions. Key themes include precision medicine, affordable innovation, collaborative research, immunotherapy, and the establishment of CAR-T cell therapy in India.

The summit will also celebrate changemakers in oncology and offer networking opportunities with clinicians, researchers, policymakers, industry experts, and innovators shaping the next chapter of cancer care in the country.

Traditional methods of teaching and learning are giving way to more dynamic, student-centred, inclusive, and collaborative approaches that foster creativity, innovation, and lifelong learning. With a focus on leveraging technology, embracing inclusivity, and bridging the gap between education and employability, the ET Now Best Education Brands 2025 aims to address the pressing challenges and uncover new opportunities shaping the educational landscape of tomorrow.

It aims to dissect critical themes such as adaptive learning methodologies, the role of technology in education delivery, skill development aligned with future demands, and the imperative for inclusive and equitable education.

At this edition, we will honor the brands that have defied challenges and climbed the ladder to success through their vision, perseverance, and bravery. Additionally, this event will serve as a dynamic platform for exchanging knowledge, fostering collaboration across different sectors, and leveraging expert analysis to expedite progress. Through proactive cooperation, we aim to deliver scalable outcomes and drive impactful results.

At the heart of the conclave lies a steadfast belief: education must evolve to meet the needs of a rapidly changing world. As the skills demanded by industries and professions shift, traditional learning models must transition towards being more student-centred, inclusive, connected, and collaborative, fostering creativity and lifelong learning. The Times Now Education Summit 2024 will provide a platform to explore the intersection of tradition and innovation in education and its profound potential to shape lives and societies.
