2026 Southeastern Multidisciplinary Approaches to Cancer Symposium

Symposium Overview

Each year, the American Cancer Society estimates the number of new cancer cases and deaths that will occur in the United States. Over 2.1 million new cancer cases are projected to be diagnosed, and 626,140 cancer deaths are expected to occur in the United States in 2026. These figures highlight the need for ongoing education on the latest advancements in oncology for solid tumors and hematologic malignancies, for the improvement of patient outcomes and cancer care

The field of oncology is evolving rapidly, with new FDA approvals and evolving data across tumor types every day. Staying current with these developments can be challenging. This comprehensive symposium will address this gap by delivering state of the art education across the spectrum of malignancies, focusing on multidisciplinary cancer management and creating a team-based approach for cancer patients, while providing practitioners the necessary tools and latest advances across tumor types.
