ESMO 2016: the countdown!
Dear Colleague,
Today marks the six-month countdown to ESMO 2016 opening its doors in Copenhagen (7-11 October). Our first annual Congress is your annual appointment with ESMO colleagues from across oncology, worldwide.
ESMO 2016 Copenhagen, Denmark 07 - 11 Oct
Be a part of this integrated Congress to share and discuss the latest findings in cancer research and the most innovative treatment approaches for daily clinical practice.
ESMO 2016 is your congress: its success is your success with opportunities to showcase your oncology research as a valuable part of the programme, in the media, and in Annals of Oncology.
Don’t miss the chance to contribute to the reference oncology congress in Europe.
Ensuring that you get maximum benefit at our annual scientific and educational congress is the role of the ESMO 2016 Scientific and Educational Committees, who are creating a programme to inspire you with the work of your peers and of experts across oncology, worldwide.
Highlighted in the ESMO 2020 Vision is our commitment to delivering fully integrated educational tools to help oncology professionals keep pace with this fast-evolving field.
The ESMO Handbooks are comprehensive guides providing concise, first-hand advice on specific treatment strategies in the medical oncology field. There are 10 publications available online to ESMO members (the first chapter of each Handbook is open access):
Back to the Essence of Medical Treatment in Oncology
Online article from ESMO Open
A recent article appearing in ESMO Open highlights ESMO’s hope that the 2015 WHO Model List of Essential Medicines (EML) will empower oncologists and advocates to demand routine availability of the medicines considered essential to guarantee quality care of cancer patients.
Providing an ‘open community platform’, the peer-reviewed ESMO Open aims to rapidly and widely disseminate the best in innovative clinical and translational cancer research, and oncology policy.
Submit your research in all disciplines and therapeutic areas related to oncology. Article types include original articles, reviews, editorials and correspondence, as well as study protocols, phase I trials and meta-analyses.
Can't make it to Copenhagen but wish to take the Exam? No problem - we can bring the Exam to you!
