Dear Colleagues,
Dear Oncology Nurses

Next year’s ESIO Update highlights the central role of endocrinology and metabolism in integrative cancer care – exploring how hormonal and metabolic pathways infl uence cancer progression, treatment response, and recovery.

The Main scientific Session comprehends international lectures on immuno-oncology, drug interactions and challenges in complementary therapies. Get insights from the Georgian system of integrative oncology, endocrinology and fertility in cancer patients, and a hot topic on AI in oncology.

In the morning, practical workshops will offer hands-on experiences in neural therapy, traditional Chinese medicine, fasting, art therapy, therapeutic eurythmy, and mindfulness.

A diverse and dynamic program – bringing together science, experience, and innovation in integrative oncology.

On behalf of the European Society for Integrative Oncology, we warmly look forward to your participation and to an enriching exchange among colleagues and friends.

On behalf of the board of ESIO e.V.
