The European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) is a professional organization, committed to advancing the specialty of medical oncology and promoting a multidisciplinary approach to cancer treatment and care.
Since its founding in 1975 as a non-profit organization, ESMO’s mission has been to advance cancer care and cure. We achieve this through fostering and disseminating good science that leads to better medicine and determines best practice. In this way ESMO fulfils its goal to support oncology professionals in providing people with cancer with the most effective treatments available and the high-quality care they deserve.
The myESMO community is a powerful alliance of more than 35,000 committed oncology professionals from 172 countries. As a trusted organization with 49 years of experience, ESMO serves its members and the oncology community through
• a brand of excellence in post-graduate oncology education and training
• leadership in transforming evidence-based research into standards of cancer care in Europe
• dedicated efforts to foster a more favorable environment for scientific research
• innovative international platforms to share expertise, best practices and disseminate the most up-to-date scientific research to as wide an audience as possible.
ESMO’s scientific journal, Annals of Oncology, ranks among the top clinical oncology journals worldwide. ESMO events are the meeting place in Europe and globally for medical oncologists to update their knowledge, to network and to exchange ideas. ESMO also unites key oncology stakeholders and forges strategic alliances to address critical issues related to the profession and practice of medical oncology. Recognized as an authoritative voice in the fight against cancer, ESMO is pleased to offer consultative expertise to oncology organizations and European authorities on important issues related to cancer research, prevention, diagnosis, treatment and care.
