2018 - PANAO Practical Application of New Agents in Oncology


Cancer remains a leading cause of death in the country. Educating healthcare professionals about newly available agents in oncology is critical. Information on new immunotherapies will be available, as well as a discussion of new clinical studies for anticancer agents. 

There will also be a focus on the numerous new immune targets and immunotherapies that have been approved over the last several years, as well as those that are likely to be approved. Several world-renowned and local speakers will discuss how to incorporate these agents into standard clinical practice, providing guidance to the front-line clinicians, nurses, and pharmacists regarding current or projected appropriate use of these therapeutics.
