Cancer connues to exert a substanal mortality rate among those afflicted, jusfying the fear it causes. Perhaps a reason why Cancer is so difficult to manage and control is because it is not really a single disease like leprosy or In the last decade, advances in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer have achieved a significant increase in the general and disease-free survival of affected paents. This, however, also increased the complexity of therapeuc decisions. The tradional view of the radiologist as a physician who adds value to the health care system, solely by generang and interpreng diagnosc images, is already outdated. The radiologists’ roles have expanded to encompass economic gatekeeping, polical advocacy, public health delivery, paent safety, quality of care improvement, and informaon technology.

It is actually a manifestaon of several diseases! It consists of a multude of disorders that have the same end result - the uncontrolled and destrucve growth of ssue. So the theme of our Convenon should actually be “All Eyes on the Many Small c’s!”. All these small c’s have to be managed in a different manner. However, there is a common thread running among all these small c’s; this is that in order for a high likelihood of cure to occur, a correct diagnosis should be established early! So here lies the Big C (Challenge) for our Specialty aside from our secondary tasks of Staging, Prognosis and Follow-up. Our lectures for the following three days shall touch on these primary and secondary tasks. As President of the Philippine College of Radiology, I would like to extend my hearelt thanks to all who have contributed to pung this whole thing together - our hard-working Organizers, our esteemed foreign and local Lecturers and our Industrial Partners.
