# About

BEST OF ESSO

Best of ESSO brings the most impactful research, practice-changing studies, and key discussions from the European Society of Surgical Oncology (ESSO) Annual Congress to a focused Indian platform. As a leading global organisation advancing surgical oncology through education, research, and multidisciplinary collaboration, ESSO serves as a catalyst for innovation in cancer surgery and patient care.

Its annual congress showcases cutting-edge surgical techniques, evolving treatment paradigms, and high-quality clinical evidence that continue to influence global oncology practice. Curated specifically for the Indian clinical landscape, Best of ESSO goes beyond summarising global data. It enables surgical oncologists to critically interpret evidence, assess its relevance, and explore its practical application in real-world settings.

Through expert-led discussions and peer exchange, the platform fosters deeper clinical insight, encourages contextual decision-making, and bridges the gap between international advancements and local practice. The initiative ultimately aims to strengthen surgical oncology outcomes by aligning global knowledge with India’s unique healthcare realities.
