Cancer Day for Primary Care – May 31, 2024

The 16th biennial Cancer Day for Primary Care, a collaboration between the Community Oncology Program at Cancer Care Manitoba and the University of Manitoba, is back. This year, our event will be hybrid, offering both virtual and in-person attendance options at Theater B, 727 McDermot Ave, University of Manitoba. Our focus will be on Genitourinary Cancers, covering topics from Prostate to Renal, Urothelial, Testicular, and Bladder cancers, including screening, work-up, and systemic therapy. What sets this event apart is the opportunity for attendees to submit their own cases for discussion by our expert panel. Join us for a dynamic and informative program.
