Registration for the symposium is currently closed.
ISPACOS is dedicated to advancing “patient-friendly cancer medical science.” Twice a year, we host symposiums that bring together speakers and participants from a wide range of perspectives: patients, their families, and patient advocates; healthcare professionals including physicians, nurses and pharmacists; leaders in drug discovery, development and pharmaceutical science; and regulatory authorities responsible for the review and approval of medicines and medical devices.
We welcome participants not only from healthcare but also from a broad range of fields and disciplines. The symposiums are open to anyone who is interested, including members of the general public.
