Robin Jones, M.D.
2026 President of CTOS
I am delighted and honored to serve as the 2026 President of the Connective Tissue Oncology Society. CTOS continues to grow from strength to strength, and its annual meeting remains an unparalleled international forum where researchers, clinicians, and patient advocates come together to collaborate, share ideas, and ultimately improve the lives of people affected by sarcoma.
I am personally indebted to CTOS for the central role it has played in my own career development. Through this society, I have built an extraordinary network of friends and colleagues across the globe. It is therefore a particular priority for me that CTOS continues to support and nurture the aspirations of young sarcoma clinicians and researchers worldwide.
This year's annual meeting in Seoul offers an exciting opportunity to further strengthen our connections across Asia. I am especially committed to supporting early-career investigators and ensuring that patients and families continue to have a strong and meaningful voice within our society. By fostering mentorship, sharing knowledge, and creating opportunities for emerging investigators, we can empower the next generation to lead with confidence and compassion.
One of the most distinctive and valued aspects of CTOS is the sense of camaraderie it provides. This spirit of collaboration and friendship is essential in a field as challenging and complex as sarcoma care, and it is a defining strength of our community.
Building on the ongoing success of CTOS, I look forward to an inspiring year focused on learning, collaboration, and mentorship. I very much look forward to seeing you all at the annual meeting in Seoul.
