Résumé

The European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) is the leading European professional organization for medical oncology. Founded in 1975 with the aim to support medical oncology, it has been evolving to promote a multidisciplinary vision of the approaches to cancer treatment. The mission of the ESMO is to provide optimal care to all cancer patients. For this purpose, ESMO offers a variety of educational and scientific activities addressed to the whole ESMO community: 1) for young oncologists - to support their training and career development opportunities; 2) for trained oncologists - to update their skills and knowledge of therapy and care; 3) for cancer patients - to help them gain a thorough and in-depth knowledge of their disease, how to fight it and how to live with it. In this document we review the different resources proposed by ESMO for educational purposes.
