Welcome to the 30th Anniversary of CTOS

We are delighted to present the annual CTOS meeting in beautiful Boca Raton, the birthplace of CTOS 30 years ago. This year, we are honored to celebrate this important milestone and reflect on how much our society has grown over the decades, becoming a thriving global community.

The program will begin by recounting the history of CTOS, celebrating its legacy while maximizing the value of the research findings shared in your abstracts. By fostering collaboration, we aim to continuously advance our understanding of sarcoma biology and improve patient care, all while remaining open to the future and embracing innovation.

Other highlights of the program will be the Herman Suit Lecturer, Dr. Paolo dei Tos, and the Nina Axelrad Lecturer, Dr. Carol Swallow. The Sarcoma of the Year will be Chondrosarcoma, a challenging disease to treat, where multidisciplinary collaboration is essential. Excitingly, new therapies are finally in development, making it an especially compelling topic for us to discuss together.

On Wednesday prior to the start of the meeting, there will once again be The Foundations of Sarcoma Science Symposium, as well as TARPSWG, Ultra-Rare Sarcomas, and SARC meetings.

As always, networking is a key highlight of CTOS. Attendees will have ample opportunities to connect with colleagues during receptions, lunches, and at our spectacular 30th Anniversary Gala on Friday night! In addition, this year we’re excited to introduce morning wellness activities to help kickstart the day. It’s going to be a dynamic and engaging experience for all!
We hope to see you in Boca Raton to celebrate 30 years of CTOS!

Sincerely yours,
