2025 Chinese Congress on Holistic Integrative Oncology (CCHIO)

📅 November 6–9, 2025 | 📍 Kunming, Yunnan Province, China

In the heart of Yunnan’s vibrant landscapes, the 2025 Chinese Congress on Holistic Integrative Oncology (CCHIO) will bring together a global community of thought leaders, clinicians, researchers, and advocates, all united in a shared mission: to transform the future of cancer care through integration, innovation, and inclusivity.

This 17th edition of CCHIO is set to welcome over 6,000 medical professionals, 10,000 international participants, and reach more than 100,000 people through its expansive ecosystem of events. Organized under the leadership of Fan Daiming, President of the Chinese Anti-Cancer Association (CACA), the conference stands as a bold response to China’s urgent cancer burden, which accounts for one-quarter of the world’s cancer cases.
