The congress now in its seventh year has simply grown from strength to strength. With a strong multidisciplinary academic program that caters for all specialties involved in the management of patients with cancer, it has become the conference to attend attracting delegates from the whole Middle East and Asia Pacific region. This year we continue with our theme of “promoting excellence in oncology”. The program focuses on different site - specific cancers and this has resulted in the congress’ diverse delegate profile. This year they strive to be bigger and better.
