We invite you to join us for the 2023 CTOS Annual Meeting which will be held November 1-4 at the Convention Centre Dublin.
It is our pleasure to welcome keynote speakers Rick Haas, MD who will give the Nina Axelrad Lecture, and Katherine Janeway, MD, who will give the Herman Suit Lecture. Their presentations should not be missed!
Sarcoma of the year will be the Small Round Blue Cell Sarcomas, including Ewing, Non-ETS rearranged, the CIC-rearranged, and BCOR tumor family. Amongst a whole slew (or “slua”, if you prefer the original Gaelic version) of Special Sessions are included ones focussing on : “Sarcoma Biology and ‘Omics”, “Improving Sarcoma Care Globally: Access, Equity, Advocacy, and Policy” “Innovations and Controversies in Radiation Oncology” and “Novel Diagnostics and Bioinformatics”. We are also introducing a new session during the 2023 CTOS Annual Meeting on Operative and Procedural Videos on Sarcoma Management. This session will take place on Wednesday, November 1 from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM. Additionally, in order to generate more live intellectual exchange between investigators, we are pleased to have ‘upgraded’ “Trials in Progress (TIP)” to a distinct abstract category its own dedicated session. For the first time, investigators can now pitch their ongoing projects as a TIP oral presentation to the broader CTOS audience. We hope this will increase interest and support from the entire CTOS community, generating a greater global footprint for sarcoma therapeutic advancement.
The morning Mentorship sessions will feature again this year with topics galore (or “go leor”, if you want the original Gaelic version of the term!) “The Debate” as a new presentation mode proved a popular hit at CTOS in Vancouver and will be featured again this year, indeed in duplicate! There will be a welcome reception with traditional Irish entertainment, a poster reception, and the Gala dinner will be in the fabulous location of the Guinness Storehouse, where you will be treated to some more great Irish music, festivities, food, and of course a drop of the black stuff.
CTOS is committed to fostering all aspects of sarcoma research and treatment. We welcome physicians working in all disciplines that deal with sarcoma care, including radiology (diagnostic and interventional), pathology, surgery (oncologic, orthopedic, reconstructive, neuro-), medical oncology, pediatric oncology, and radiation oncology. We also welcome translational and basic science researchers, survivorship care providers, nursing staff, patients, and patient advocates to join us as well to contribute to the scientific program.
Looking forward to seeing you soon in Dublin!
