Message from the Chair – Welcoming all members to this International gathering !

Dear Colleagues and Friends,

I would like to welcome you to the inaugural Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi Gynecologic Oncology Symposium. At Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi, we believe that a multidisciplinary, collaborative approach to cancer care is essential to achieve the best patient outcomes.
Through the Gynecologic Oncology Symposium, we hope to highlight this approach while sharing advances in research and clinical trials that are leading to improvements in care. Over the course of two days, you will hear from leading experts across the Cleveland Clinic system and beyond, who will discuss various topics spanning the disciplines involved in the care of gynecologic cancers.

We look forward to having you with us!
