W4O Sessions and Events
An international platform to share your knowledge, participate and grow your career
The increasing number of women entering medical school and working in oncology teams has not been met with an increased presence of women in leadership roles.
Since 2013, our sessions taking place at ESMO Congress and ESMO Asia Congress have showcased findings from our research and given female oncologists the opportunity to discuss career development, meet inspirational women leaders and network with their peer group. Since 2020, we have also offered a series of virtual events and sessions throughout the year.
The sessions are a valuable means of strengthening our community of fellow oncologists and gain support across gender.
