The Emirates Oncology Conference (EOC), now in its 10th year, continues to highlight important developments in the fields of cancer prevention and treatment. The Abu Dhabi Health Services SEHA and Tawam Hospital hosted the conference. These organizations are dedicated to offering the UAE top-tier healthcare and ongoing medical education to keep the public informed and ensure that medical experts remain up to date in their fields. The EOC featured significant sessions covering a wide range of topics with globally renowned speakers who kept the audience interested with their illuminating lectures and visual presentations. Breast cancer, hematological malignancies, palliative care, lung cancer, radiation oncology, pediatric oncology, genitourinary, gastrointestinal, and neuro-oncology were some of the topics covered. Over the course of the 3 days, there were about 4000 attendees including physicians, surgeons, researchers, healthcare professionals, and industry representatives from over 40 nations, of which 65% were from the UAE and 35% traveled from the USA, Europe, Middle East, and GCC. Approximately 150 speakers were hosted by EOC; speakers came from the USA, UK, Italy, Spain, France, Germany, Belgium, India, Pakistan, Philippines, Malaysia, Canada, and many regional nations such as Jordan, KSA, Oman, Bahrain, Lebanon, Egypt, and the UAE. In addition, more than 2 dozen abstracts were presented as oral and poster presentations, and the top 14 were chosen to be published in a medical journal as a result of EOC 2022. Selected abstracts are included herein. We are grateful to all members of the scientific and medical community, our organizing team, speakers, delegates and sponsors for their time, efforts, and contributions to making EOC one of the most important scientific events of the year.
