Silvia Stacchiotti, M.D.
2025 President of CTOS
Dear CTOS members and friends,
I am deeply honored and truly excited to serve as the President of CTOS this year—a society where I have grown both professionally and personally. Thanks to the many outstanding mentors who have preceded me, I have learned what it means to deliver high-quality care and conduct impactful research in the field of sarcomas.
In a rare disease like sarcomas, we know that collaboration is not just important—it is essential. But beyond collaboration, I also believe that only by working together can we truly enjoy the journey, transforming the hard work we do into a time we cherish and take pride in.
My hope is that CTOS will continue to inspire all of us, especially the younger generation of physicians and researchers who have chosen sarcoma care and research as their passion. In a world where incomprehensible events and divisions often take center stage, let CTOS stand as a symbol of unity—bringing people together regardless of their country of origin, race, or background. Together, let us push boundaries, inspire one another, and make meaningful progress in our shared mission to improve the lives of those affected by sarcomas and their families.
I look forward to an incredible year filled with learning, collaboration, and inspiration alongside all of you. I eagerly await the annual meeting in Boca Raton, where we will come together to celebrate the past 30 years and all the years to come.
