This is the recognition I received on my research which has been accepted as an abstract presentation at the prestigious European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress 2025 in Berlin, Germany, on 2nd Sept, 2025 at Blood and Multispeciality hospital for which my heartfelt gratitude goes to Prof. Dr. Bishesh Poudyal sir, Dr. Bishal Gyawali sir, Ganesh Gyawali sir, and Anita Gyawali ma’am. I am deeply humbled and beyond grateful for your recognition and support. With this award, I carry not just an honor, but a responsibility to give my best in all that I can and create an impact that truly justifies the faith you’ve placed in me.

I am also thankful to my friends who have stood by me throughout this journey. Above all, I dedicate this auspicious moment to my parents and my sister, whose unconditional love and support in every possible way have shaped my path.

For them, I am endlessly thankful and forever grateful.”
