37th Annual Chemotherapy Foundation Symposium Overview
Exciting new breakthroughs and rapid changes continue to occur in the management of solid and hematologic malignancies. Just this past year, practice-changing diagnostic, therapeutic, and supportive care strategies have entered clinical practice, and many more are poised to enter the field. The application of optimized testing approaches, locoregional and systemic therapies, including the use of chemotherapies, targeted therapies, immunotherapies, alone and in combination, along with multimodal strategies, continue to drive improved outcomes across multiple lines of care. Critical knowledge, competence, and performance gaps among practitioners must be addressed to ensure that these approaches are effectively and safely integrated into professional practice.
Each year, the Chemotherapy Foundation Symposium® (CFS®), brings together more than 1,000 healthcare professionals for 3 days, with the aim of promoting the delivery of evidence-based, state-of-the-art cancer care for both routine and the most challenging clinical scenarios. At the 37th Annual CFS®, our internationally renowned faculty will provide you with expert insights on the latest developments in cancer therapeutics, offering an unparalleled opportunity to learn how innovative approaches fit into existing treatment paradigms to optimize care and outcomes for your patients with cancer.
As in previous years, this year’s meeting will continue the tradition of the International Congress on Targeted Therapies in Cancer® and the Annual Multidisciplinary Symposium on Head and Neck Cancer® to provide education on cutting edge research that personalizes the treatment of patients with cancers
