Along with the launch of the new affiliate comes PER Global’s initial event, the first annual European Congress on Immunotherapies in Cancer™, which will be held from September 23-24 at the W Barcelona in Barcelona, Spain. This congress is a two-day comprehensive and interactive program that will focus exclusively on immunotherapies and their practical application to the management of cancer. The intensive, interactive congress will provide a comprehensive review of key data sets that are most relevant for the clinician who manages some of the most difficult-to-treat forms of cancer. There will also be a focus on science advances, recent clinical trial results that shape current and evolving uses of these approaches, proactive methods to monitor and mitigate treatment-related adverse events, current and emerging testing methods, and multidisciplinary team approaches to optimize the use of immunotherapeutic strategies to treat cancer. Interested professionals can register here.
An application has been made to the European Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education for CME accreditation of this event.
