The FSP, in collaboration with FLASCO, hosted the inaugural Pathology + Oncology Interactive Symposium: A Precision Medicine Partnership for Better Patient Care meeting on Saturday, November 6 in Orlando, FL. This innovative and interactive symposium brought together 22 pathologists and oncologists and 15 sponsor representatives from Florida to discuss the recent advancements in utilizing precision medicine for the diagnosis and treatment of cancer.
The Pathologists and oncologists from their individual healthcare settings attended with each other to discuss best practices and strategies to take back home with them to implement in their own practice settings.
