Overview

The University of Kansas Multidisciplinary Cancer Symposium is designed by experts in the field of oncology and aimed towards the educational needs of community physicians and other healthcare providers involved in multimodality management of patients with breast, colorectal or liver cancers. Controversies and changes in treatment paradigms will be presented through short, practical, up-to-date lectures, followed by a panel discussion and Q&A session for each tumor type.

Please note: this is an environmentally friendly conference. No hard copy slides or paper will be provided at the event. The slides will be available in electronic format after the conference. Thank you for considering the environment.
