Firenze Fiera and Destination Florence win the bid for the “ESC CARDIO-ONCOLOGY 2025” Congress – First Edition at Palazzo degli Affari, June 20–21

Florence, June 19th, 2025. The first edition of the international ESC Cardio-Oncology 2025 congress will open tomorrow at Palazzo degli Affari, welcoming over 400 delegates from around the world.
The event, held in Florence for the first time and organized by the ESC (European Society of Cardiology) Council of Cardio-Oncology, offers a 360-degree view of the rapidly evolving cardio-oncology field. Following the release of the first guidelines on the subject, the goal of the European Society of Cardiology is to bring together specialists from various disciplines to create synergies that will improve the treatment of oncology patients with cardiovascular complications, through an interdisciplinary approach.
Cardio-oncology is a field at the intersection of cardiology, oncology, hematology and other medical specialties, focused on enhancing care for patients at risk of cardiotoxicity due to cancer treatments. Collaboration across specialties is key to achieving better outcomes.
Congress presidents are Teresa Lopez Fernandez, cardiologist at La Paz University Hospital in Madrid, and Alexander Lyon, professor of cardiology at Imperial College London and cardiologist at the Royal Brompton Hospital in London. The local hosts are Pietro Ameri, associate professor of cardiovascular diseases at the University of Genoa, and Carlo Di Mario, full professor of cardiovascular diseases at the University of Florence and director of the Structural Interventional Cardiology Unit at Careggi Hospital in Florence.
From cutting-edge research to real clinical cases, including hands-on sessions, the rich scientific program of the two-day congress will cover every aspect of cardio-oncology care. With dedicated tracks for advanced specialists as well as general cardiologists, the congress will be a valuable educational and collaborative opportunity across all levels of clinical practice.
