Welcome Message
On behalf of the Cardio-Oncology Working Group of the Egyptian Society of Cardiology, the International Cardio-Oncology Society (ICOS), and the Cardiology Department of 57357 Children’s Cancer Hospital, it is our great honor and privilege to welcome you to the Third Egyptian Cardio-Oncology Conference (ECOC) 2026, taking place on October 22–23, 2026, at the prestigious Steigenberger Hotel Cairo.
This year’s conference represents a defining milestone in our journey. ECOC 2026 is the first conference to be held following the official inauguration of the International Cardio-Oncology Society (ICOS) Egypt Chapter, marking a transformative step forward for cardio-oncology in Egypt and the region. It reflects our collective commitment to advancing multidisciplinary collaboration, elevating standards of care, and aligning our clinical and research efforts with the global cardio-oncology community.
We are deeply honored to collaborate with ICOS—the world’s leading and most influential society dedicated to cardiovascular care in cancer patients. This partnership not only strengthens our regional impact but also brings unparalleled international expertise, fostering a powerful exchange of knowledge and experience.
ECOC 2026 will gather an exceptional faculty of distinguished international and regional experts, delivering a rich and forward-looking scientific program. Attendees can expect cutting-edge discussions spanning early detection and structured surveillance of cardiotoxicity, innovations in multimodality imaging and biomarkers, management of cardiovascular complications associated with immunotherapy, as well as important advances in pediatric and adolescent cardio-oncology. The program will also highlight evolving strategies in cardioprotection and long-term survivorship care.
More than a conference, ECOC 2026 is a dynamic platform for inspiration, collaboration, and progress. It is where ideas converge, partnerships are forged, and the future of cardio-oncology in Egypt and beyond is shaped.
We look forward to warmly welcoming you to Cairo for two exceptional days of science, dialogue, and global connection.
