National experts presenting at this conference will be addressing these needs and sharing their knowledge and expert opinion. In addition, attendees will gain the knowledge of how to use pharmacogenomics and personalized medicine approaches to help in the selection of novel new therapies for patients.
The Practical Applications of New Agents in Oncology conference will offer exciting advances and the most up-to-date research and clinical data for Hematologists/Oncologists, Nurses, Pharmacists, Physician Assistants and other health care professionals specializing in Oncology.
