SYMPOSIUM
Description
On behalf of ESO and of the Scientific Committee, I have the pleasure of inviting you to attend the Educational Cancer Convention Lugano.
Thanks to the success of the 2010 edition, the 2012 Convention will be devoted again to haemato-oncology with a programme developed in co-operation with the International Conference on Malignant Lymphoma and the International Extranodal Lymphoma Study Group.
The synergy between these entities has been devised to provide an overview of the latest developments in the field maintaining a high educational profile.
In particular, the internationally renowned faculty will offer:
- Keynote lectures dealing with relevant biological and clinical aspects of leukaemias and lymphomas;
- Sessions addressing malignant lymphomas in general, myeloproliferative disorders and chronic and acute leukaemias;
- Ample time and emphasis will be given to clinical cases presented both by the faculty and the participants who are encouraged to submit abstracts;
- Enhanced interactivity during poster discussion sessions.
I look forward to welcome you to ECCLU 2012 and to your active participation.
