The Harvard Collaborative Oncology Group offers a number of educational opportunities, assisting oncologists to stay abreast of the latest developments in cancer research.
HCOG provides timely information about new cancer therapies through symposia held at least twice a year. Attended by hundreds of area oncologists and other health care providers, these symposia feature internationally renowned cancer researchers, who often focus on the clinical application of exciting new discoveries in the basic sciences. Previous presentations have featured topics such as Hodgkin's disease, novel strategies in cancer treatment, therapy-related second malignancies, brain tumors, and viruses in cancer.
