KFSH&RC >> Jobs & Research >> Symposium

EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES

The Symposium aims to provide comprehensive updates in all aspects of solid tumor, hematological malignancies and hematopoietic stem cell transplant, palliative care and oncological nursing in the young and aged.

We hope to be a forum for interaction and exchange of ideas and information between local and regional oncological societies and international societies to advance the science of oncology.

The Symposium will encourage and support presentation of local and regional research to enhance multicentre regional collaboration to tackle the rising burden of cancer in the Arab world.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

This educational program is designed for physicians, nurses, and other healthcare professionals interested in the treatment, care, and management of patients with cancer.
