Welcome

Dear colleagues, ladies and gentlemen, dear friends,

It is our great honor and pleasure to invite you to the 17th Congress of the Croatian Society for Medical Oncology of the Croatian Medical Association with international participation - HDIO 2025which will be held from 13th to 16th November 2025 at the beautiful Sheraton Dubrovnik Riviera Hotel in Srebreno, Dubrovnik.

Oncology is constantly evolving, bringing new knowledge, therapeutic approaches, and technologies that improve treatment outcomes for cancer patients. Despite significant progress, challenges in oncology care remain, urging us to pursue continuous professional development and multidisciplinary collaboration. The 2025 Congress will present the latest updates in diagnostics, treatment, and supportive care for oncology patients, gathering leading national and international experts.

The program will include numerous plenary lectures, panel discussions, and selected case presentations, enabling the exchange of expertise and experience. Special emphasis will be placed on personalized medicine, innovations in immunotherapy, molecular oncology, and the multidisciplinary approach to treating various types of cancer. As in previous years, we will also provide a platform for young professionals to present their work and actively engage in congress activities.

In addition to the rich scientific and professional program, we believe that Dubrovnik, with its rich history and stunning beauty, will offer an ideal setting for informal gatherings, idea exchange, and strengthening of professional connections.

We warmly invite you to join us in Srebreno and contribute to the success of this important professional event with your presence. We look forward to welcoming you!

Sincerely,

Stjepko Pleština
President of the Croatian Society for Medical Oncology
