“NCI BGO 2026, Beyond Science, Celebrating People, Partnerships, and a Shared Vision
Some conferences are remembered for their scientific discussions. Others for the people, friendships, and collaborations they inspire. NCI BGO 2026 was truly both.
Reflecting on these remarkable days, I feel proud and grateful to have contributed to a congress that brought together scientific excellence, innovation, multidisciplinary collaboration, and our shared commitment to better cancer care.
My sincere appreciation to Prof. Mohamed Samra, Conference President and Dean of the National Cancer Institute, and Prof. Dalia Kadry, Conference Vice President, and NCI Vice Dean for their outstanding leadership, vision, and continuous support.
A very special thank you to my dear brother, Prof. Ahmed Magdy Rabea, Conference Secretary General, whose dedication, commitment, and extraordinary efforts were instrumental in making this congress successful.
My heartfelt thanks to Dr. Salma Mahmoud, Dr. Hany Kamal, Dr. Riham Karkeet, and Dr. Armia Mohsen, and the entire organizing committee. Your passion, energy, and tireless work behind the scenes made all the difference!
For me, BGO 2026 was more than a scientific gathering. It reflected everything I believe modern oncology should represent.
From advances in breast cancer management to cancer survivorship, patient advocacy, digital transformation, and patient-centered operational intelligence, my participation reinforced one conviction:
The future of oncology is not only about better treatments. It is about building better systems around our patients.
I am especially proud of our incredible BCCC team at NCI Cairo University. Your commitment to patient navigation, education, research, and integrated supportive care continues to turn our shared vision into measurable impact.
Special thanks to Roche and EVA pharma for their scientific collaboration and support, and to all our valued sponsors and partners who contributed to the success of this congress.
To every speaker, moderator, chairperson, colleague, and participant, thank you for the inspiring discussions, meaningful exchanges, and friendships.
The greatest achievements in oncology do not come from working in isolation. They come from what we build together.
We came together to bridge gaps in oncology. Now comes our greater responsibility: turning scientific discussions into actions that genuinely improve patients’ lives.
Proud of our NCI. Proud of our team. Grateful for the people who made it happen.”
