Compassionate care in cancer nursing: Bridging the gap between science and humanity

About the event

EONS was pleased to announce its 18th congress, hosted as part of the prestigious ESMO Congress 2025. This year, EONS18 took place in Berlin in October 2025, bringing together oncology nurses, researchers, educators, and healthcare professionals from across the globe to explore the vital role of compassionate care in bridging scientific advancements with the humanistic aspects of cancer nursing.

Under this year’s theme, EONS18 offered an inspiring platform to exchange knowledge, share best practices, and drive innovations in cancer nursing. The event featured diverse sessions aligned with our commitment to excellence in cancer nursing, covering a wide range of topics.
