The Society of Surgical Oncology (SSO) is committed to advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). We believe that diversity is not only a reflection of the varied backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences of our members but also a vital driver of excellence in patient care, research, and education.

The Society of Surgical Oncology condemns discrimination, racism, and violence. At SSO, we embrace and celebrate the richness of diversity in all its forms, including but not limited to race, ethnicity, sex, gender-identity, sexual orientation, nationality, religion, age, family care status, disability, and military veteran status. We recognize that by bringing together individuals with diverse backgrounds and viewpoints, we can better address significant healthcare disparities and the critical lack of surgical care for patients worldwide.

We look forward to seeing you in Tampa for SSO 2025!
