Organised by the European SocieTy for Radiotherapy and Oncology (ESTRO), the European Head and Neck Society (EHNS) and the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO), this biennial congress offers a unique platform to advance multidisciplinary and multimodal treatment strategies in the field of head and neck oncology.
ICHNO 2026 will feature state-of-the-art lectures, updates from practice-changing trials, real-world evidence sessions, and the latest technological innovations in head and neck cancer care. The programme focus is to bring clinical and academic researchers together, to understand the biology that underpins disease and toxicity, and to apply that understanding to a person centred, individualised approach to treatment.
This international meeting brings together experts in oncology, surgeons, pathologists, radiologists, dieticians, speech and language therapists, nurses, restorative dentists, scientists and related specialties to foster collaboration, dialogue, and innovation that directly impact patient care.
Join us in Seville for three days of scientific excellence and collaborative learning in the fight against head and neck cancers.

Newsflash: BAHNON and Get A-Head Charity Strengthen Partnership
The British Association of Head and Neck Oncology Nurses (BAHNON) and the Get A-Head Charitable Trust have reaffirmed their commitment to accessing and advancing education in head and neck cancer care through a supportive partnership.
We appreciate that gaining funding from Trusts in the current financial climate in the NHS is challenging and therefore as part of their ongoing collaboration, Get A-Head would like to provide grants which support education for healthcare professionals.
These grants are only available to BAHNON members and therefore to apply you will need to email us @ bahnonurses@gmail to receive the grant application link. This is so that we can verify you are a paid-up member of our organisation.
This partnership continues to play a vital role in empowering head and neck nurses, improving patient outcomes, and shaping the future of cancer care in the UK
