Precision Medicine for Cancer Patients with Sepsis: Join Our WSC Satellite Session on November 18

November 18, 2026 | 14:00 CET | Free Livestream on YouTube

International experts will explore the intersection of cancer and sepsis, personalized treatment approaches, immunomodulatory therapies, and the integration of sepsis response into global cancer policy. Join us for this free online event on November 18, 2026, at 14:00 CET.

Cancer patients face particular challenges when developing sepsis. Neutropenia, complex interactions between cancer and the immune system, and the need for tailored treatment approaches make the management of sepsis in this patient population especially challenging.

To address these challenges, the Global Sepsis Alliance (GSA) invites healthcare professionals, researchers, policymakers, cancer specialists, patients, and advocates to join the upcoming World Sepsis Congress (WSC) Satellite Session: “Precision Medicine for Cancer Patients with Sepsis” on November 18, 2026.

This free online event will bring together international experts to discuss the intersecting biology of cancer and sepsis, the specific risks faced by neutropenic patients, and opportunities to personalize treatment through immunomodulatory therapies. The session will also explore how sepsis response can be better integrated into European and global cancer policy, with a particular focus on what patients are asking for.

About World Sepsis Congress

The World Sepsis Congress (WSC) is an initiative of the Global Sepsis Alliance. Since its launch in 2016, the Congress has brought together leading international experts, healthcare professionals, researchers, policymakers, patients, and advocates to share the latest knowledge and advances in sepsis prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.

Through its free online congresses and satellite sessions, the WSC makes sepsis knowledge accessible to audiences worldwide.

Join us on November 18 and be part of the global conversation on improving sepsis care for cancer patients.
