A rich scientific program awaited the participants: a course of lectures on the therapy of oncological diseases based on the approaches adopted in China, reports on the possibilities of the domestic market development program and, of course, a unique opportunity to observe the work of doctors in the hospital departments.

Last year alone, the Center treated more than 1 million cancer patients, which underlines its high level and importance in the field of healthcare.
