LIVE VIRTUAL: 9th Annual Global Conference on Perioperative Care of the Cancer Patient

This international meeting is the work of leading anesthesiologists from several cancer centers of excellence worldwide. The multispecialty international consortium will address the clinical and translational evidence emerging in perioperative cancer care. The conference is designed to address the complexity and unique challenges for the perioperative care of the cancer patient and cancer survivors.

As the incidence of cancer and cancer survivorship grows, there is an increased need for anesthesiologists, surgeons, interventional radiologists, nurses and other perioperative health care professionals to provide their services for the multiple diagnostic and interventional procedures in this patient population. This conference will focus on the key elements related to perioperative care of the cancer patient needed to deliver value-based patient centric care.

This conference will consist of scientific panels, lectures and small group discussions and the opportunity to network online with leading international onco-anesthesiologists, surgeons and scientists.
