“After 44 years, leadership changes. The mission must endure and evolve.
For more than four decades, Alberto Costa helped transform Umberto Veronesi’s vision into the European School of Oncology (ESO), connecting generations of cancer professionals through education, mentorship and international collaboration.
Now, Rossella Blasi takes the helm, inheriting not only an extraordinary legacy but also the responsibility to shape what comes next.
In an exclusive CancerWorld cover story, both leaders reflect on the past, present and future of ESO and on a challenge that remains as urgent as ever:
How can oncology education keep pace with scientific breakthroughs while ensuring that knowledge reaches professionals and patients across borders?
Their perspectives reveal something fundamental about leadership: building an institution is an achievement. Ensuring that it continues to grow, adapt and serve future generations is a legacy.
As ESO enters its next chapter, the mission that inspired its creation in 1982 remains essential: turning knowledge into better cancer care.
