Conference on Challenges in Sarcoma (CCS2026)CSS 2026
Soft tissue sarcomas (STS) are rare and complex tumors that require highly specialized and interdisciplinary management. Due to limited prospective data and inconsistent findings from retrospective studies, many clinical decisions remain uncertain or controversial. Expert consensus is therefore key to optimizing patient care and closing gaps in current guidelines.
The Conference on Challenges in Sarcoma brings together internationally renowned specialists from pathology, radiology, surgery, radiation oncology, medical oncology, and patient advocacy. In an interactive setting, experts will discuss controversial topics, share current research findings, and develop practice-oriented recommendations. The focus is on real-world clinical relevance, interdisciplinary exchange, and international collaboration.
We look forward to welcoming a large number of participants in Lucerne.
Warm regards,
Dr. med. Silvia Hofer & PD Dr. med. Christian Rothermundt
