Overview
We are excited to invite you to two groundbreaking events designed to integrate the expertise of local practicing medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, and surgeons from Hawaii: The 5th Annual Hawaii Lung: A Multidisciplinary Case-Based Conference™ & The 3rd Annual Hawaii Breast Cancer: A Multidisciplinary Case-Based Conference™. These programs will consist entirely of case-based panel discussions featuring local, Hawaii-based faculty on the panels, which will be moderated by key experts from the mainland US. The panels will address key aspects of care for patients with early-stage, locally advanced, and metastatic lung cancer. Participants in this conference will have the opportunity to bring best practices back to their clinics, as well as interact with local colleagues.
