INNOVATION IN ONCOLOGY: new drugs and the impact of artificial intelligence
INNOVATION IN ONCOLOGY: new drugs and the impact of artificial intelligence
The FGB-FM-ESO Joint International Conference 2025 brings together world-leading experts in oncology to explore cutting-edge developments in cancer therapeutics and the transformative potential of artificial intelligence in clinical practice. This two-day conference will foster collaboration between clinicians and researchers, promoting knowledge exchange and innovation in cancer care. Besides, the conference hosts the “Gianni Bonadonna Prize” for young investigators in the field of innovative therapies in oncology. This year is the 10th Anniversary since the passing of Gianni Bonadonna, and this award will be an important occasion to honour one of the founding fathers of modern oncology.
Conference Aims:
- To showcase breakthrough developments in cancer therapeutics, with a focus on novel drug delivery systems and targeted therapies
- To explore the integration of artificial intelligence in oncology, from diagnosis to treatment selection
- To facilitate knowledge transfer between academic research and clinical practice
- To promote collaboration between established researchers and emerging talent in the field
- To provide a platform for discussing practical implementation challenges and solutions
