The King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research
Centre (KFSH&RC) will host a Symposium entitled
"Cancer 2001," with emphasis on breast cancer and
lymphoid neoplasia,
from 15 - 17 October 2001 (28 Rajab - 01 Shaban 1422),

The main objective in holding this symposium is not only to
acquaint participants with the latest advances in our basic
understanding of cancer, but also to demonstrate how the
rapid translation of this fundamental knowledge from the
bench to the bedside promises to revolutionize the management
of the disease. Specific topics to be addressed include:
translational studies, pathology, epidemiology, therapy, nursing issues,
and medical ethics of human subjects research.


This symposium is made possible with the collaboration of a number of
international organizations and institutions which includes, but not
limited to, the following:

Cancer Treatment and Research (INCTR)
