Major oncology conferences in 2026 include the IASLC World Conference on Lung Cancer in Seoul, the APPOS CAR T-cell therapy dinner in Los Angeles, and the ACP/UKSMO Annual Conference in Birmingham. The events will cover thoracic oncology research, CAR T-cell toxicity management, and medical oncology workforce development.
Several major oncology conferences are scheduled for 2026, including the IASLC 2026 World Conference on Lung Cancer, the APPOS 2026 CAR T-Cell Therapy dinner, and the Association of Cancer Physicians (UK Society for Medical Oncology) Annual Conference.
The IASLC 2026 World Conference on Lung Cancer (WCLC) will be held in Seoul, Republic of Korea from September 12th to 15th, 2026. World-renowned speakers, emerging investigators, and leaders across every discipline of thoracic oncology will present their latest research, critically examined and discussed by the field’s leading experts. For more than fifty years, the WCLC has united experts, innovators, and advocates from across the globe to share the latest discoveries and advance care for people affected by thoracic cancers. Annals of Translational Medicine (ATM), along with its sister journals and books published by AME Publishing Company, will be featured at the event, and attendees are invited to visit Booth 708.
The Advanced Practice Providers Oncology Summit (APPOS) will present the networking CE dinner “CAR T-Cell Therapy in 2026: Advances in Safety, Efficacy, and Toxicity Management” on 11 August 2026 at Nick + Stef’s Steakhouse in Los Angeles, California. The two-hour educational programme will review CAR T-cell mechanisms, recent strategies for reducing treatment-related toxicity, efficacy data for FDA-approved therapies across hematologic malignancies, and the recognition and management of established and emerging adverse effects. The event is primarily intended for nurse practitioners, physician assistants, pharmacists, and nurses, while physicians, students, and other healthcare professionals involved in oncology care are also welcome. Participants may earn continuing education credits and network with colleagues during the dinner.
The Association of Cancer Physicians (ACP), currently transitioning to the UK Society for Medical Oncology (UKSMO), will host its 2026 Annual Conference from April 16–18 at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Birmingham. This three-day event is designed to address the professional lifecycle of medical oncologists, beginning with a focus on the “Future of Oncology” for resident doctors, followed by a comprehensive Clinical Trials Masterclass open to all delegates. The final day centers on leadership and professional development specifically tailored for early-career consultants. Expert-led sessions will cover AI in drug design, toxicity management of ADCs, and sustainability in oncology.
