It’s a privilege to invite you to the 13th Aegean Hematology Oncology Symposium which will be held on 17-20 September 2026 in Kalamata, Greece. The Congress is co-organized by the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (School of Medicine) and the Turkish Medical Association of EHOD (Aegean Hematology Oncology Society) under the auspices of the Balkan Myeloma Study Group and the European Hematology Association, “Scientific Working Group MM”.

This meeting is planned to share country perspectives on Hematology Oncology topics between Greek and Turkish Clinicians, to exchange experiences and to create the basis for multi-center, multi-national studies. During the last years, there was a significant progress in the biology of hematological malignancies that led to the development of several novel drugs in the field. More than 30 new regimens have been approved by EMA for hematological malignancies since 2022. The scientific program includes all these data presented by experienced hematologists and it is organized in well-balanced interactive sessions and teaching programs focusing on the needs of Hematology/Oncology Clinicians. This year oral and poster sessions are included again in the program to facilitate the scientific dialogue between Greek and Turkish colleagues and enhance the collaboration between the hematologists of both countries.

We hope that you enjoy the scientific program but also the social program in the beautiful environment of Kalamata and we thank you in advance for your contribution in the development of this meeting in order to be even better than the previous AHOS.
