Host Chairs: F. Grossi, IT; F. Rovera, IT

Aims, objectives and teaching format

The ESO Masterclass is a full immersion, clinical oriented event designed for medical and clinical oncologists with 3-4 years experience in oncology who would like to receive further training on the treatment of tumours from a multidisciplinary point of view. The programme exposes participants to a full spectrum of issues in clinical oncology and to practice-oriented training.
The Masterclass is organized into:

  • Plenary lectures on state-of-the-art clinical treatments with reference to clinical guidelines given by renowned international faculty.
  • Interactive workshops on communication, social media and managing burnout
  • Clinical case presentations/tumour board simulation where each participant presents and discusses a case with an international faculty of top experts in each tumour type.

The Masterclass is divided into two educational parts:

  1. Pre-recorded online lectures
  2. In-person event

The online lectures are released before the in-person event to give each participant the opportunity to prepare themselves in their own time and at their own pace.

The in-person event is held in the style of a 3-and-half-day ‘retreat’, giving participants the opportunity to begin building an international oncology network as well as the chance to interact with renowned faculty in an informal environment over a number of days.

This Masterclass is held at the same time at the ESO-EONS Masterclass in Oncology Nursing. Certain educational sessions take place together to give both groups the opportunity to learn in an interdisciplinarity setting.

The Masterclass is held entirely in English and fluency in English is necessary for admission.

The ESO Masterclass in Clinical Oncology: Autumn edition is a closed event for selected participants only.
