Why should you present?
More than 600 participants from countries all around the world are expected to attend WCIO 2015 in New York. This is the place to share your research as the IO field grows at a rapid pace. WCIO offers a variety of physicians and researchers with an interest in IO treatment the opportunity to get involved with the care of cancer patients, learn about the future of cancer treatments, and explore the synergy of minimally invasive strategies in both traditional and new oncologic therapies.
By including your IO research into this cross-disciplinary mix, others will have the opportunity to learn from you.
Accepted abstracts will be published in the online, digital version of Journal of Vascular and Interventional Radiology (JVIR) and recognized in the WCIO 2015 conference program. Top peer-reviewed abstracts will be published in the print publication of JVIR.
