Traditionally, the day preceding the Annual Meeting is reserved for ASCO Educational Symposia, which offer a concentrated learning opportunity in an oncology-related subject. This year, in addition to these Symposia, a two-day Comprehensive Review Course in Cancer Genetics will be offered on Thursday and Friday. Additional registration is required for the Course and the Symposia, as they are not part of the official Annual Meeting.
Early registration is encouraged, as attendance is limited.
The goal of this highly academic course is to provide a comprehensive overview of cancer genetics, focusing on the translation of the basic science of genetics into the clinical practice of preventive oncology. A special feature of the course is a battery of practice questions developed by faculty to test specific areas of knowledge in this field. It is strongly recommended that individuals planning to take the I.C.E. examination prepare well in advance and be aware of other entrance requirements. This review course is designed for clinical oncologists. I toward the AMA Physician's Recognition Award.
