The 3rd Congress of the Mediterranean Multidisciplinary Oncology Forum will receive accreditation from the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) and the Panhellenic Medical Society.

Dear Colleagues,

It is a great honor and pleasure for me, as President of the Congress, to announce the 3rd Mediterranean Multidisciplinary Oncology Forum (MMOF) Congress, to be held in the capital of Greece, Athens, in October 24-26, 2013.

This 3rd congress is following on previous important scientific endeavors of MMOF in the Mediterranean area. Our aim is to provide an International Forum for discussion, to share new developments and knowledge for the diagnosis and treatment of cancer and to exchange stimulating ideas for the advancement of oncology research and care in our area.

A prestigious faculty of oncology experts from many countries and representing various disciplines, including medical oncology, radiotherapy, oncological surgery, breast surgery, molecular biology, oral oncology etc. has been assembled to review and analyze current state-of-the-art issues and hot topics regarding many types of neoplasias. The Congress will feature round tables, invited lectures, panel discussions of challenging cases, scientific debates, oral presentations, poster viewing sessions and special workshops for Young Oncologists. The program will also encompass a special noteworthy event, the “SKIN CANCER DAY’’, an entire morning devoted to the latest developments in Melanoma and Skin Cancer, discussed and presented by world opinion leaders in this field.

We are looking forward to welcoming you in the beautiful city of Athens, to experience and delight in the civilization, the hospitality and the beauties of the city and to share and benefit from a dynamic and innovative scientific event.
