Welcome to the Medical Nutrition Masterclass 2026

Bringing together leading experts in oncological surgery and medical nutrition, this Masterclass will explore how evidence-based nutritional interventions can improve surgical outcomes, enhance recovery, and elevate patient care. Through expert presentations, real-world case discussions, and interactive workshops, we will bridge science, guidelines, and clinical practice to accelerate the integration of nutrition across the oncology care pathway.

Together, we will challenge current practices, share innovative approaches, and explore how nutrition can become a cornerstone of perioperative oncology care.
