Dear Colleagues,
Dear Friends,

Each year, at the threshold between May and June, the global oncology community symbolically converges upon Chicago, where scientific thought is recast and elevated into its most current doctrinal forms – bold, ambitious, and vertiginous, much like the city’s iconic skyline. It is within this intellectual firmament that the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) convenes its Annual Meeting, a forum that shapes the trajectory of contemporary oncologic science and clinical practice.

In this spirit, the Bulgarian Joint Cancer Network (BJCN) will once again organize the officially licensed Bulgarian presentation of the most significant highlights from the ASCO 2026 Annual Meeting. The second edition of Best of ASCO 2026 Bulgaria aspires to transpose the scale, rigor, and visionary reach of Chicago’s oncologic horizon into the national landscape of Bulgarian medicine.

Through the intellect and moral commitment of its distinguished experts, BJCN will render into the Bulgarian academic and clinical discourse the most innovative, practice-changing, and paradigm-shifting advances introduced at ASCO – advances that redefine oncologic science, recalibrate clinical reasoning, and refine therapeutic conduct.

We look forward to welcoming you in July in Sofia, where global insight and national expertise will converge in a shared commitment to excellence in cancer care.

Assoc. Prof. Asya Konsulova, MD, PhD
Chair of the Organizing Committee
