See you on 3-5 September 2025!
On behalf of the Masaryk Memorial Cancer Institute and the Organising and Programme Committees, it is our great pleasure to inivite you to the 49th Brno Oncology Days and the 39th Nursing Conference. This long-standing professional event with an international dimension remains the largest platform in the Czech Republic for interdisciplinary dialogue among all professions engaged in the field of oncology.
In 2024, we welcomed more than 2,500 participants, including 22 invited international speakers. Over the course of the conference, more than 350 contributions were presented, among them 290 oral presentations delivered within 43 educational sessions and 10 free communication sessions.
The International Brno Oncology Days (IBOD) enter their fifth year in 2025 and will take place on 4–5 September. The core mission remains to deepen Central European cooperation between clinicians and researchers. We are delighted to welcome distinguished experts this year from Leipzig, Vienna, Leuven, Oslo, Padua, London, Warsaw, and Rome, among others. The IBOD programme will offer not only the latest updates, but also educational sessions devoted to gastrointestinal cancers, precision medicine, and endocrine and neuroendocrine tumours. We place special emphasis on fostering intergenerational exchange among professionals, which we see as vital to the future of our field.
A completely new element of this year’s programme is the ONCO Cinema – a space where recordings of examinations, surgeries, and procedures will be screened, accompanied by annotated commentary and followed by expert discussions.
The Nursing Conference will this year present, among other topics, updates in cancer prevention and screening programmes, as well as developments in the competencies and education of non-medical staff. As always, popular hands-on workshops will be included, this year focusing on nutrition, prevention, and the role of the case manager in the patient’s care pathway.
We are honoured that the conference is once again held under the auspices of ESMO, the Czech Oncological Society, and other professional organisations.
We greatly value that Brno Oncology Days are regarded not only as a high-level professional event, but also as a social gathering of colleagues and friends. We trust that this year’s edition will meet these expectations. In addition to Wednesday’s ceremonial opening, you can look forward to Thursday’s social evening at the OREA Congress Hotel, which will include the presentation of awards to distinguished figures in the field.
We look forward to spending these days together in Brno and to inspiring professional and personal encounters.
