IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The online masterclass will be carried out in two separate parts:
Block 1
Pre-recorded sessions will be made available from 7th February 2022 via this website. You will be able to see all the sessions in your own time.
The pre-recorded sessions must be viewed before the Part 2 (Live weekend).
When you finish watching a set of sessions on a specific tumour, please send us up to 3 questions related to the sessions. Some of your questions will be selected and answered during part 2 in the Q&A sessions.
Block 2
Live sessions will be held on Saturday 12th and Sunday 13th March 2022.
During the live sessions, a lecture will be delivered for each main tumour group and will cover topics of interest for oncologists working in the Arab and Southern European area. Each lecture will be followed by a Q&A session using some of the questions that were sent for part 1.
After the Q&A sessions, participants will be paired and present their clinical cases, which will be discussed by the experts.
Please note that selected participants will be paired and asked to prepare a clinical case together with a colleague from a different Country/Hospital.
It is possible we may need to change the participants' case topic in order to keep a balance between all tumour types.
