2022 Connective Tissue Oncology Society (CTOS) Annual Meeting

The 2022 Connective Tissue Oncology Society (CTOS) Annual Meeting is organized by the Connective Tissue Oncology Society (CTOS) and will be held from Nov 16 - 19, 2022 at Vancouver Convention Centre, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

Description:
After over two years of disruption due to the pandemic, the meeting will offer an opportunity to reconnect, restore, strengthen networks, and discover new collaborations. The program (opens a new window) will include sessions in tried-and-true formats including oral presentations, poster discussions as well as general poster sessions. Opportunities to refresh, revive and renew relationships will include Meet-the-Expert sessions, mentoring opportunities (both formal and informal), poster walks, and a grand gala dinner with dancing and entertainment, guaranteed to be the highlight of your social calendar.

Special sessions will focus on lessons learned from the pandemic, including telemedicine delivery, virtual tumor boards, and coordination of multidisciplinary care. The Sarcoma of the Year will be Desmoid Fibromatosis, an area of substantial basic and clinical research and innovation. Another special session will focus on Adolescent & Young Adult Care (including all aspects from basic science, translational and clinical research, to biopsychosocial assessment and patient-reported outcomes).

CTOS is committed to fostering all aspects of sarcoma research and treatment. We welcome physicians working in all disciplines that touch on sarcoma care, including radiology (diagnostic and interventional), pathology, surgery (oncologic, orthopedic, reconstructive, neuro-), medical oncology, pediatric oncology, and radiation oncology. We also welcome translational and basic science researchers, survivorship care providers, nursing staff, patients, and patient advocates to join us.

Additional details will be posted when more information is available.
