MSK's 2nd Congress: Interventional Cancer Pain Symposium 2019

MSK’s 2nd Congress of the Interventional Cancer Pain Symposium will provide an unparalleled experience for attendees involved in the treatment of oncologic pain patients. This year’s program will have an expanded experience in the fields of neurosurgery, rehabilitation, integrative medicine, supportive and palliative care, and interventional radiology for attendees. The advanced workshop will incorporate the ever-expanding role of neuromodulation in the treatment of the oncologic population. Additionally, a new emergency and perioperative medicine track will includes lectures and a regional anesthesia workshop on day 1 as well as a regional anesthesia cadaver workshop for anesthesia and emergency medicine health providers on day 2.

This course is intended for Physicians, Advanced Practice Providers, Residents and Fellows interested in learning state-of-the-art interventional pain procedures for treating oncologic patients.
