The Rossy Cancer Network held its 3rd Annual Retreat at the Plaza Centre-Ville in Montreal on November 10, 2017 and the day was a resounding success!
Close to 200 physicians, nurses, allied health professionals, researchers and patient representatives came together to review the work undertaken in the network in the past year and to discuss new initiatives that could help integrate the network in terms of supportive and palliative care, urgent care needs and leading-edge treatments.
