About the Event

Event: OncoOrthoMeet 2025
Part of: Homi Bhabha Cancer Conclave
Organized by: Dr. Ashish Gulia and team
Participants: Dr. Amit Janu, Dr. Nirmala Jambhekar, and multidisciplinary experts
Focus: The role of integrated, multidisciplinary approaches in managing bone and soft tissue tumors

The OncoOrthoMeet served as a unique platform for orthopedic surgeons, radiologists, and pathologists to engage in case-based discussions, exchange insights, and strengthen the collaborative bridge that defines modern cancer care.

This wasn’t just another conference — it was a meeting of perspectives where clinical expertise, diagnostic precision, and surgical experience converged to redefine how complex oncological cases are approached.

When Three Worlds Unite: Ortho, Radio, Patho

One of the central themes that echoed throughout the OncoOrthoMeet was simple yet profound:

“No single specialty holds the complete answer.”

Each discipline brings a crucial piece of the puzzle:

• 🦴 The Orthopedic Surgeon understands the structural and functional realities of bone tumors, mapping out surgical strategies that preserve mobility and quality of life.
  
  
• 🧬 The Pathologist interprets what the tissue reveals—identifying tumor types, aggressiveness, and cellular behavior that guide therapy decisions.
  
  
• 🖥️ The Radiologist visualizes the unseen, decoding scans to uncover patterns, extensions, and subtle details invisible to the naked eye.
  
  

When these experts communicate, deliberate, and plan together, the patient’s journey becomes safer, faster, and far more precise.

The event showcased multiple case discussions where interdisciplinary input completely changed treatment direction—preventing misdiagnosis, unnecessary interventions, and delayed care.

Highlights from the Discussion

The sessions were a masterclass in how collaborative decision-making can influence real-world outcomes.
Key highlights included:

• Integrated Case Review: Experts jointly reviewed complex bone and soft tissue tumor cases, demonstrating how radiology, pathology, and surgery complement each other.
  
  
• Precision in Planning: Discussion emphasized how accurate imaging and timely biopsy interpretation shape surgical margins and treatment sequencing.
  
  
• Collaborative Learning: Participants from across India shared their institutional protocols and collaborative models, promoting a national dialogue on multidisciplinary oncology.
  
  
• Respect Across Specialties: The event underscored a culture of mutual respect—each expert acknowledging the indispensable contribution of the other.
  
  

For Izen Imaging & Interventions, the biggest takeaway was this: collaboration isn’t optional; it’s essential.

A Radiologist’s Perspective: Seeing the Invisible

As radiologists, we often work behind the scenes, reading images that tell silent stories.
But when we step into a multidisciplinary discussion, those stories come alive—validated, questioned, and integrated into a larger clinical picture.

At OncoOrthoMeet, the power of radiologic insight was evident:

• Subtle differences in signal intensity or bone matrix helped rule out aggressive lesions.
  
  
• Advanced imaging guided surgeons toward safer, tissue-sparing procedures.
  
  
• Image-guided biopsies provided the precise tissue samples pathologists needed to confirm diagnosis confidently.
  
  

This synergy reminded us why communication between ortho, radio, and patho is not just academic—it’s life-changing.

Reflections on Collaboration

The atmosphere at the OncoOrthoMeet was one of shared purpose.
Every discussion, every question, and every slide projected carried the same undercurrent — patients come first.

It was deeply inspiring to see how each specialty valued the other’s perspective. There was no hierarchy, only harmony.
It was a space where knowledge flowed freely, powered by curiosity and compassion.

At Izen Imaging & Interventions, we take pride in being part of this evolving ecosystem — one where collaboration doesn’t just improve understanding; it transforms care.

Beyond 1 + 1 + 1 = 3

Perhaps the most memorable takeaway of the day was this question posed during the meet:

“Do you believe multidisciplinary teamwork is 1 + 1 + 1 = 3 or 111?”

The laughter that followed had a deeper meaning — because when specialists unite, their collective impact multiplies far beyond numbers.
In real terms, 1 + 1 + 1 = better survival, better recovery, and better lives.

That’s the true equation of multidisciplinary medicine.

Looking Ahead

Events like OncoOrthoMeet aren’t just conferences; they’re catalysts.
They ignite dialogue, refine protocols, and reinforce why modern cancer care must be team-based.

At Izen Imaging & Interventions, we’re committed to nurturing this spirit of collaboration — within our own teams and across the broader healthcare community.
By participating in such multidisciplinary platforms, we continue to learn, share, and push boundaries to ensure that every patient benefits from collective expertise.

In Summary

• Event: OncoOrthoMeet 2025 at Homi Bhabha Cancer Conclave
  
  
• Theme: Multidisciplinary teamwork in bone and soft tissue oncology
  
  
• Organized by: Dr. Ashish Gulia
  
  
• Key Participants: Dr. Amit Janu, Dr. Nirmala Jambhekar, and other leading experts

At the heart of every scan, slide, and surgery lies one shared goal — better outcomes through collaboration.

Because in the world of cancer care, the best results don’t come from one specialty alone —
They come from the power of many minds working as one.
