I-O Educational Meeting 2019: Making Treatment Decisions for and with Your Cancer Patients
Rapid advances in cancer immunotherapy offer novel treatment opportunities for patients. It also creates new challenges for clinicians aiming to offer the most suitable treatment based on a precise diagnosis and an informed decision-making process.
To stimulate the exchange with international colleagues and to learn from experiences gained in other Cancer Centers, Oslo Cancer Cluster is starting a new I-O Educational Meeting Series tailored for Norwegian clinicians and translational researchers. This meeting series is a continuation of the I-O Educational Seminars established in 2015.
Clinicians and translational researchers are invited to attend this meeting to address different aspects along the treatment course – from diagnosis to treatment and follow-up of cancer patients. Participants will have the opportunity to meet with international experts presenting recent progress and clinical implications.
