Welcome

Dear Colleagues and Friends,

On behalf of the Organizing Committee, it is my great pleasure to invite you to KSMO 2026—the 19th Annual Meeting of the Korean Society of Medical Oncology and 2026 International Conference—held in conjunction with the 14th International Conference of the Federation of Asian Clinical Oncology (FACO), September 2–4, 2026, in Seoul, Korea.

Since its founding in 2005, the Korean Society of Medical Oncology (KSMO) has been committed to advancing clinical oncology and improving patient care through multidisciplinary collaboration. As one of the leading academic societies in Asia, KSMO continues to foster excellence in cancer research, education, and professional development.

KSMO 2026 will provide a stimulating forum to share scientific breakthroughs and practical clinical insights. Under the theme “Advancing Cancer Care, Restoring Hope and Lives” the program is designed to highlight the latest evidence and innovations, helping bridge research and practice to improve patient outcomes.

We warmly invite you to join us to learn, network, and exchange ideas with colleagues from around the world—while also experiencing Korean culture, from cuisine and K beauty to Seoul’s dynamic, forward-looking spirit.

Please save the dates—September 2–4, 2026—and we look forward to welcoming you to Seoul.
