The future of oncology is more connected.
OVN is a globally connected oncology community and platform built to strengthen collaboration, shared learning, and meaningful connection across the broader oncology ecosystem.
OVN was created from a simple but powerful belief:
Oncology moves forward faster when healthcare providers, researchers, patients, advocates, industry leaders, and innovators collaborate more openly across disciplines, organizations, and borders.
Mission
To help build a more connected, collaborative, and globally engaged oncology ecosystem where people, expertise, and ideas move more openly across disciplines, organizations, and borders.
Vision
A future where the global oncology community learns, collaborates, and advances together — accelerating progress through stronger relationships, shared insight, and more open exchange across the broader oncology landscape.
Purpose
OVN exists to help bring the global oncology community into closer collaboration — creating a space where healthcare providers, researchers, patients, advocates, innovators, and industry leaders can learn from one another, share perspective, build meaningful relationships, and help shape the future of oncology together.
Because progress depends on more than science alone.
Scientific advancement is essential to the future of oncology.
But progress also depends on how openly healthcare providers, researchers, patients, advocates, and industry leaders share insight, collaborate, exchange perspectives, and learn from one another.
Today, oncology is more interconnected than ever before — yet many of the individuals and organizations shaping it still operate in separate environments.
OVN was created to help bring those worlds into closer collaboration and community.
More than a platform. A connective layer across oncology.
OVN brings together healthcare providers, researchers, patients, advocates, industry leaders, innovators, and organizations from across the broader oncology landscape into one globally connected environment for shared insight, collaboration, relationship building, and cross-functional learning.
- A place where expertise becomes more discoverable
- Where collaboration becomes more natural
- Where ideas and perspectives move more openly across disciplines and organizations
- And where the oncology community can learn from one another in more meaningful ways
Through conversations, thought leadership, podcasts, webinars, ecosystem mapping, advocacy perspectives, and shared learning experiences, OVN helps strengthen collaboration across oncology worldwide.
OVN is intentionally cross-functional, globally inclusive, and built for the broader oncology ecosystem — not a single discipline, organization type, or stakeholder group.
What began as conversations became something bigger.
OVN emerged from the relationships, conversations, and insights that developed through the Voices of Oncology book and the growing community surrounding it.
Across those conversations, one theme surfaced repeatedly:
Some of the most valuable expertise and insight in oncology was not moving openly across the broader landscape.
Leaders across science, medicine, advocacy, clinical development, Medical Affairs, commercialization, healthcare, and innovation often described the same challenge in different ways:
Oncology had become deeply interconnected — but many of the communities shaping it still operated in separate worlds.
OVN was created to help bring those worlds into closer collaboration.
Built for the people shaping the future of oncology.
Meaningful progress in oncology depends on healthcare providers, researchers, patients, advocates, innovators, and industry leaders working in closer collaboration with one another.
OVN brings together individuals and organizations from across the broader oncology ecosystem.
Scientific & Clinical Community
Researchers, translational science, diagnostics, biomarkers, clinical development, healthcare providers, pharmacy, nursing, multidisciplinary care teams, and scientific leadership.
Industry & Innovation Community
Pharma, biotech, Medical Affairs, regulatory, safety, commercial, market access, HEOR, manufacturing, data and AI, investors, Innovation Partners, and cross-functional oncology leaders.
Patient & Advocacy Community
Patients, caregivers, advocates, advocacy organizations, healthcare systems, support communities, and emerging voices helping shape the future of cancer care.
Every part of oncology contributes valuable expertise, experience, and perspective.
OVN exists to help those voices become more collaborative, connected, and visible across the global oncology landscape.
Stronger connection and collaboration creates stronger oncology.
The future of oncology depends not only on breakthrough science, but on stronger collaboration between the healthcare providers, researchers, patients, advocates, organizations, and innovators shaping progress.
Progress accelerates when:
- expertise becomes more accessible
- perspectives cross-pollinate
- lessons are shared openly
- collaboration moves more naturally across disciplines
- more voices are included in the conversation
Because when oncology becomes more connected and collaborative, the possibilities become greater for everyone.
Join the movement and amplify your voice in a more connected and collaborative future for oncology.
Whether you are part of healthcare, research, advocacy, patient communities, industry, innovation, or the broader oncology ecosystem, OVN was created to bring people, expertise, and ideas into closer collaboration across oncology.
The future of oncology will be more connected, more collaborative, and more globally interconnected.
OVN exists to help build that future together.
