Emad Shash, Leading Cancer Researcher and Director at National Cancer Institute, shared on LinkedIn:
“Beyond Science, It’s the People Who Make ESMO Special.
One of the greatest joys of attending ESMO 2026 in Madrid is reconnecting with wonderful friends, inspiring colleagues, and passionate collaborators who share the same vision for advancing cancer care.
A special moment today with my amazing friends and colleagues from the OncoDaily community, Amalya Sargsyan, Arpi Asminian, Rasha Aboelhassan, Mona Elhosary, Reem Eid, and Rana Naoum.
Beyond the scientific sessions, research presentations, and exciting discoveries, conferences are about people, friendships, meaningful conversations, and collaborations that turn ideas into action.
Proud to be part of a community where scientific passion meets genuine friendship, and where geographical boundaries never limit our shared ambitions.
Because advancing oncology is not only about better science, but also about the people who inspire us to make a difference.”
