About This Event
Join us for the 26th annual Practical Applications of New Agents in Oncology (PANAO), a nationally recognized conference for health care professionals interested in learning about new anticancer agents and treatments. The nationally recognized speakers presenting at this conference will discuss the advances in agents and the therapeutic paradigms that overlap in different disease specialties.
Hematology and medical oncology physicians, researchers, fellows, residents, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, registered nurses, pharmacists, and clinical research coordinators are invited to attend.
Topics will include:
- Drug development in epigenetic regulation
- Gene therapy
- Novel Drug Development in Oncology
It is a continuing education (CME) activity designed for healthcare professionals specializing in oncology and hematology. The University of Texas Health Science Center San Antonio is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education to provide continuing medical education for physicians.
The University of Texas Health Science Center San Antonio designates this live activity AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™.
