Cancer care: the future is now (6 November 2024)

10 September 2024

Are you curious about what cancer care in Belgium will look like in the future? Then be sure to mark your calendar for November 6, 2024. On this day, All.Can Belgium will host the conference "Cancer Care: The Future is Now," focusing on the oncological (r)evolution in the 21st century and featuring leading medical experts and policymakers.

    During the conference, we will explore the most significant developments in oncology and their impact on patients and their communities, healthcare organizations, and the overall healthcare system.

    We will also address the challenges: What is still required today to effectively deliver valuable oncological innovations to Belgian patients and healthcare organizations? And how can we overcome these obstacles?

    We will do this through panels focused on six topics:

    1. The oncological (r)evolution in the 21st century
    2. The impact of innovation in oncology on healthcare organizations
    3. Clinical research in the era of molecular oncology
    4. Access to innovative treatments
    5. The role of AI in cancer care
    6. Digital technology as a companion for patients and healthcare organizations
