This year’s symposium, the eighth in the series, assembles a team of leading local and international experts to give up-to-date information and hands-on training in various aspects of colorectal, breast, and hepatobiliary cancers. The updates will cut across various specialties which include Surgery, Radiology, Pathology, Interventional Radiology, Medical Oncology, Medical Laboratory Science, Nursing Oncology, and Radiography. Attendees will also be provided information on how to develop a fruitful research career and infrastructure.

In this year’s symposium, we are collaborating with the Breast Imaging Society of Nigeria (BISON) and Nigeria Society of Interventional Radiology (NISIR) in addition to our regular partners. The maximum allowable participants for each workshop is 30 and will be treated on a first come first served basis
