The theme of this meeting is “Medical Oncologists for Cancer Patients”.

Since 2006, JSMO has been conducting board certification in medical oncology. In 2026, the program will mark its 20th anniversary, having training around 2,000 medical oncologists in Japan. This significant occasion provides an opportunity to explore the ideal role of the “Medical Oncologist”. We will examine their contributions to cancer treatment and research, their role in standardizing cancer care, and their involvement in team-based approaches. Additionally, we aim to consider cancer patients’ perspectives, the required number of specialists, regional and institutional disparities, and issues related to domestic and international board certification systems. Through these discussions, we hope to clarify the future direction of board certification in medical oncology.

JSMO2026 will also focus on "Asian Oncology," highlighting contributions from Asia regarding clinical oncology for cancer treatment. We aim to revisit the history of outstanding basic research and novel evidence on anti-cancer drug development originating from Asian countries, including Japan, across various cancer fields. Furthermore, we will explore the future of collaborative research in Asia, and address opportunities for oncologic education as well as the relationships among young oncologists in the region.

In addition, JSMO2026 will showcase the latest high-level evidence in oncology, fostering in-depth discussions during the meeting. We look forward to receiving numerous general abstract submissions on these subjects from both domestic and international participants. Through active discussions on the latest evidence, we aim to further promote international collaboration and advancements in the field.

The meeting will also cover various topics, such as anti-cancer drug development, cancer genome medicine, personalized medicine, perioperative chemotherapy, and cancer care tailored to different life stages (including pediatrics, the AYA generation, and elderly cancer patients). Additional topics include onco-fertility, hereditary tumors, and the intersection of cancer care with patients, their families, and society.

Late March in Japan is typically a season of pleasant weather, with cherry blossoms in full bloom. We hope that many colleagues from both Japan and overseas will join us, enriching academic discussions and enjoying the scenic views and culinary delights of the port city of Yokohama

We are pleased to invite you to attend the second International Conference on Tropical Medicine(ICTD), which will be held at the Shangri-La Hotel in Colombo from 11th to 13th of March 2026. This esteemed event is co-organized by the Sri Lanka College of Dermatology and Aesthetic Medicine (SLCDA) in collaboration with the Deutsche Dermatologische Gesellschaft / German Dermatological Society (DDG).

Nearly 40% of the world's population resides in tropical countries, and the prevalence of skin diseases in these regions is rising at an alarming rate. Tropical skin diseases are unique, and challenging to treat. Furthermore, these diseases are no longer limited to tropical regions. Due to increased travel and migration, dermatologists outside the tropics are encountering patients with tropical skin diseases with increasing frequency. Therefore, a sound knowledge of tropical dermatology is an asset to any dermatologist.

The second International Conference on Tropical Dermatology (ICTD) promises to be an enriching experience, featuring distinguished clinicians and researchers who will share their insights through lectures on various topics. The conference will provide an in-depth discussion of tropical infections such as leprosy, leishmaniasis, and dermatophytosis. Moreover, tropical dermatology extends beyond infections. The program will also cover interesting topics such as pigmentory disorders, environmental dermatology, and cultural dermatology. Additionally, a special pre-congress session will focus on Aesthetics in Skin of Colour, addressing critical issues related to aesthetic treatments for patients with skin of colour.

Additionally, we are thrilled to invite you to the highlight of our tropical dermatology program on the 14th of March, at the National Hospital of Colombo, Sri Lanka. This clinical meeting will feature a variety of patients with tropical skin diseases, providing a unique opportunity to examine and discuss cases in small teams alongside esteemed Sri Lankan dermatologists.

The second International Conference on Tropical Dermatology (ICTD) represents a fantastic opportunity for the global dermatology community to enhance their knowledge, build connections, and initiate collaborative research while experiencing the warm hospitality of Sri Lanka.
