The Young Oncologist (YO) programme is specially designed by young oncologists for young oncologists and initiated by the ESMO Young Oncologist Committee (YOC).
Here below, you can find the overview of the ESMO Asia 2018 YO programme, which includes educational and career developments sessions tackling topics which are highly relevant to YOs in their daily practice and/or research activities.
The fully integrated Young Oncologists (YO) Track at ESMO Congresses represents a jewel in the crown of our expanding portfolio of programmes and initiatives devised to deliver on the requirements of young oncologists in today’s ever-emerging landscape of precision medicine in oncology.
Especially crafted to provide guidance, educational opportunities, translational two-way exchange and debate, as well as real solutions matched to the needs of our Society’s junior members, I am confident that this year’s programme is set to inspire and enthuse participants and speakers alike!

The Vesalius Talk is an excellent opportunity for a direct discussion between young oncologists and more senior opinion leaders in the field of medical oncology. The 2018 Vesalius Talk will tackle the sensitive issue of the importance of a work-life balance especially at early stages of young oncologist’s career. The audience will have the opportunity to ask practical advice from the panel.
