#qcgcsymposium #gyncancer #cancerresearch #survivorship
We would like to say a big THANK YOU to everyone who was able to make it to our 2018 Patient Symposium, another successful event with lots of positive feedback. We would also like to extend our sincere thanks to AstraZeneca Australia for sponsoring our symposium again this year - without their support we could not host such a successful patient event.
We have had so much interest from others who could not attend on the day whether it be for geographical location or health reasons and many have expressed their interest in us providing a broadcast of our event as a webinar, podcast or recording. We will be looking for additional sponsorship for our 2019 Patient Symposium to help cover costs and enable us to do this.
Here are some of the speaker presentations that we have permission to share (so far) along with a summary of our Q&A session.
- Q&A Notes
