About The ISCO

The International School of Clinical Oncology (ISCO) is an esteemed institution dedicated to recognizing and highlighting the significant contributions of oncologists in the region.

Through their commitment to clinical research, medical practice, and continuous learning, these oncologists foster a global community of knowledge sharing and education among their peers.

ISCO’s mission centers on promoting equality in education by ensuring that all oncologists have access to the same level of knowledge, understanding, and awareness of the latest updates and advancements in the field of oncology.

This mission is realized through a variety of initiatives, including monthly educational meetings, where distinguished experts from around the world present the most up-to-date data and research findings.

Continuous medical and clinical education stands as a cornerstone of ISCO’s philosophy.

Moreover, ISCO places a strong emphasis on the exchange of clinical programs, enabling oncologists to share best practices, experiences, and expertise with their peers on a global scale. By facilitating these exchanges, ISCO fosters a collaborative and dynamic environment where knowledge is shared effectively and innovation is continuously inspired.
