malignant diseases are caused due to genetic predisposition, tobacco abuse, erroneous dietary habits, inadequate physical activity, alcohol consumption, faulty lifestyle and even in a few with no known causes. Long latent period, quiescent spread, chronic progression, late detection, severe suffering, worst disability incomplete response to treatment, frequent recurrence and more than anything the fatal outcome proves its magnitude and clinical impact. It needs specialized infrastructure for its detection as well as diagnosis and multidisciplinary approach for the effective, curative or palliative treatment. The International Congress gains exalted significance as Ayurvedic treatment for malignant disorders is an alternative effective option in contrast to other contemporary medical treatment. Since the complete cure is a remote possibility in almost all advanced stages of malignant diseases, the motto of the treatment will be "Decease without suffering and living without dependency".

Ayurveda is a complete, conventional, efficient and popular ancient medical system practiced in India and neighbouring countries. Accomplishment of physical, mental, social and spiritual well being is the unique approach of this science of life. This made it conventional rather than complementary or alternative medicine even after the advent of modern medicine. Promotion of health, prevention of maladies, and radical cure to diseases with holistic approach are the objectives of Ayurveda. The tiny human body is the epitome of mega universe and is nurtured by the nature. Ayurveda utilizes the products of the nature and corrects naturally the abnormalities of the body.
