CURE OM's 1^stAnnual Eyes on a Cure: Patient & Caregiver Symposium

CURE OM is excited to announce the inaugural Eyes on a Cure: Patient and Caregiver Symposium to be held on June 16th and 17th, 2012.  We will be holding this meeting one month after hosting the first CURE OM Scientific Meeting (for physicians and researchers) with the goal of bringing the latest news from the ocular melanoma scientific community directly to patients and their loved ones.  Eyes on a Cure will bring patients, caregivers and researchers from around the world together to offer educational sessions, support groups led by oncology social workers, sessions on complementary therapies, as well as informal time for networking. 

This first patient and caregiver symposium will be held in Philadelphia at the Kimmel Cancer Center of Thomas Jefferson University.  Confirmed speakers include: Carol Shields, Takami Sato, David Eschelman, Carin Gonsalves, and James Pingpank.  A draft agenda can be found above.  We will continue to update this agenda as we get closer to the event.  Please check back often as new information is posted.  We look forward to seeing you in June!
