Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of the organizing and scientific committees it is my
pleasure to invite you to attend the 9th International
Meeting on the Psychosocial Aspects of Genetic Testing for Hereditary
Cancer on June 09-10, 2005, hosted by Thomas Jefferson University, Department of Psychiatry and Human Behavior and the
Kimmel
Cancer
Center
in Philadelphia,
PA,
United States of America. We are very excited as this is the first time this meeting will be
held in the United States.
The meeting will be an opportunity to improve cross-cultural
communication and collaboration among clinicians and researchers
involved in the psychosocial aspects of genetic testing for hereditary
cancer. Outstanding leaders in this field have accepted our invitation
to be keynote speakers at this meeting, to present the latest
developments in chemoprevention in the
USA
and the UK, prevention strategies, the “patient” doctor, impact of genetic
testing on women, children, and families, and pharmacogenetics.
I welcome you all to submit your abstracts and
to come and be part of this
excellent opportunity to hear the latest developments and network with
your colleagues in the
USA, Europe,
Australia, and Japan. I hope that the meeting is informative and your time in
Philadelphia
is enjoyable!
All my best,
Kathryn
