Welcome to our ESMO Virtual Congress site where we showcase the very best from ESMO's flagship portfolio.

ESMO Immuno-Oncology 2024 opens in new tab/window

The event brings together oncologists, researchers, healthcare professionals, and industry representatives from Asia and around the world.

This international event provides an advanced educational programme and showcases recent scientific developments in this promising and fast-evolving field.

From the basics of immunotherapies to the latest research results; from understanding different treatment options to the management of toxicities and interpretation of new data, this event will cater to the diverse needs of oncology stakeholders with an interest in this topical field of cancer treatment.

Take part in this meeting to learn, share your research and expertise and connect with the stakeholders that are making a difference in the field.

Below a collection of papers recently published in ESMO’s premier journals carefully selected to reflect the themes of the meeting.
