Reviewer notes: ESO states doctors undertaking a fellowship in Italy pay Italian taxes. An ESO-sourced OncoDaily listing from 2025 describes this INT programme as a visiting observership (HPB track 6 months) and gives enquiries efiore@eso.net; pathway marked Observership on that basis. Whether surgical oncologists qualify as 'oncology specialisation' is unverified. Other Italian ESO centres (IEO Milan with breast and GI tracks; Campus Bio-Medico Rome with HCC track) not added because surgical content is unverified.
