A European Success in Inflammation and Skin Cancer
On May 22–23, 2025, the Inflammoncology Contest took place in Naples — an innovative and dynamic event that brought together young dermatologists from across Europe in a high-level clinical and scientific competition. The initiative offered a unique opportunity to test participants’ skills and therapeutic reasoning through complex cases at the intersection of inflammatory skin diseases and oncology, with a touch of humor and creativity, thanks to the many engaging videos prepared by the teams.
Over the course of two intense days, several teams from European dermatology schools competed with great professionalism and enthusiasm, presenting real clinical cases supported by solid therapeutic rationale. The level of the presentations was remarkably high, reflecting the outstanding preparation and passion of the next generation of European dermatologists.
The event was a resounding success, not only for the scientific quality of the discussions but also for the vibrant energy shared among participants and judges. The case debates, interactive discussions, and expert evaluations created a stimulating and educational atmosphere, offering a genuine snapshot of modern European dermatology.
At the end of the contest, the top three teams were awarded:
- 🥉 3rd place: the Greek team “Una faccia, una razza”;
- 🥈 2nd place: the Austrian team “Mozart Moles”;
- 🥇 1st place ex aequo: in a thrilling final showdown, the “Skin Wars” team from Newcastle and the “PD1 Direction” team from Naples shared first place, both impressing the jury with their top-tier clinical cases and cutting-edge therapeutic strategies.
The Inflammoncology Contest 2025 reaffirmed the value of active learning, peer exchange, and the central role of young dermatologists in shaping the future of the field. A heartfelt thank you to all participants, judges, and organizers who made this event so rich in knowledge, passion, and vision.
