Forward2026 UPMC Hillman Cancer Center Central PA Women’s Cancer Symposium
The Women’s Cancer Symposium is a multidisciplinary, one-day educational program designed to enhance clinical knowledge and improve collaborative care across the continuum of women’s oncology. This activity brings together physicians, nurse practitioners, nurses, physician assistants, social workers, and allied health professionals to address evolving treatment strategies, supportive care needs, and real-world challenges in breast and gynecologic malignancies. The 2026 program will feature focused breakout tracks, case-based discussions, multidisciplinary panels, and debate-style sessions aimed at translating emerging evidence into practical clinical application. Emphasis will be placed on survivorship, sexual health, integrative oncology, genomic risk assessment, and complex clinical decision-making in cancer care.
