5th Symposium on Cancer Survivorship for Clinicians
Due to the global COVID-19 pandemic, the Cancer Survivorship for Clinicians conference has been postponed from May 2022 to September 9-10, 2022. Thank you for your continued patience as we work to find a safe way to offer this in-person event. Our priority is the health and safety of Conference attendees. We follow King County guidelines for face masks and vaccination verification.
With survivorship now recognized as a distinct phase of care in the cancer continuum, the focus turns to surveillance for, and management of, long-term and late effects that occur as a result of cancer and its treatment, as well as the health promotion and prevention of disease strategies that are particularly important for cancer survivors.
This conference, featuring speakers who are the leaders in the field of cancer survivorship, covers an important and increasingly relevant gap in the medical education of clinicians who care for cancer survivors.
