This event is ideal for healthcare professionals looking to expand their knowledge of peritoneal carcinomatosis and engage in discussions about the latest approaches to multidisciplinary patient care. The symposium may be of particular interest to healthcare professionals in primary care, medical oncology, gastroenterology, colon and rectal surgery, obstetrics and gynecology, nursing, infusion, and other disciplines who care for patients with cancer. All are welcome.
