I believe in empowering patients to make the right treatment selection for themselves even when they have failed multiple lines of treatments." He envisions to open multiple centres across the country to make precision oncology treatment accessible and affordable. He has been into the practice of precision oncology for more than a decade and believes in spreading awareness and promote education about the same.Many patients from India go abroad for getting newer forms of cancer treatment.

This contemporary approach is based on the newer science of precision oncology where tumour genes are studied and the right treatment including targeted therapy and immunotherapy is given to the patient either alone or in combination. This treatment attacks the cancer cells and the underlying survival mechsms utilised by the cancer cells. This is more effective and has less side effects as compared to blanket chemotherapy based on the stage and histology of tumour.Gracing the occasion Padma Dr Pk Julka said "that with increase in incidences of cancer every year, there is also an increase in the survivorship of the patient."The event was attended by various cancer experts of all specialities including medical, surgical, radiation, pathology from various premier institutes of the country.
