It gives us immense pleasure to welcome you all for the scientific extravaganza to the temple city of Madurai for our annual national conference of Indian Association of Surgical Oncology - NATCON IASO 2022. Having been parted by the pandemic, we are now happy that after a long lacunae we are geared up for the physical meet. The ancient city of Madurai blessed by the Presiding Deity Goddess Meenakshi is a home for marvelous architectural monuments of different periods, renowned holy temples and rich cuisines. Madurai is surrounded by hill stations, wild life sanctuaries nestled in the western ghats and other major tourist attractions in its neighbourhood. The organising team assures the best of scientific and cultural fiesta and shall leave no stone unturned to deliver the best of hospitality. Looking forward to host you all and make this event a grand success.
