The Young Oncology Academy is taking place for the 9th time this year under the direction of Prof. Dr. Miklos Pless. Eleven mentors will be supervised and accompanied by a maximum of twelve mentees this year. In 2024, there will be an introduction to statistics by Dr. Stefanie Hayoz. The participants will also attend international congresses such as the ESMO in Barcelona and the EHA in Madrid.
