Tokyo will host the World Conference on Oncology & Cancer Care (WCOCC-2026) from November 19 to 21, 2026, an international conference dedicated to recent advances in cancer research and patient care.
A gathering for the global oncology community
The event will bring together oncologists, cancer researchers, clinicians, healthcare professionals, and industry representatives from around the world. According to the organizers, the conference aims to serve as a platform for exchange on the latest research, innovative therapies, and emerging technologies in oncology.
This year’s scientific committee includes researchers from institutions such as Saarland University (Germany), the National Technical University of Athens (Greece), the Hudson Institute of Medical Research (Australia), Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (Greece), and the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine (United States).
Topics spanning the full spectrum of oncology
The scientific program is expected to cover a broad range of subjects, including cancer biology and the tumor microenvironment, genomics and precision oncology, immunotherapy, targeted therapies, and the use of artificial intelligence in cancer diagnosis and care. Dedicated sessions are also planned on specific cancer types; including breast, lung, gastrointestinal, gynecologic, prostate, pediatric, and brain cancers; as well as on palliative care, oncology nursing, and patients’ quality of life.
A program built around several formats
Over three days, the WCOCC-2026 program includes plenary sessions, keynote addresses, oral and poster presentations, and networking breaks between sessions. A closing ceremony and certificate presentation are scheduled at the end of the event.
Tokyo, host city for the 2026 edition
The choice of Tokyo reflects the organizers’ aim of providing a setting conducive to international exchange, with the Japanese capital noted for its research institutions, healthcare infrastructure, and accessibility via Narita and Haneda international airports.
