The inaugural 1st International Interdisciplinary Congress "Cancer & Sexual Health 2027" provides an international scientific forum dedicated to advancing research and clinical practice at the intersection of oncology, urology, gynecologic oncology, breast oncology, psycho-oncology, sexology, and survivorship care.
The Congress is focused on improving quality of life, sexual health, and functional outcomes in patients affected by cancer, with particular emphasis on translating interdisciplinary evidence into clinically applicable frameworks and future standards of care.
The meeting brings together established experts and early-career investigators in an environment designed to promote rigorous scientific exchange, methodological development, and cross-disciplinary collaboration.
