Educational Forum
on Lymphoma
October 24-26
Washington, D.C.
Capital Hilton
Lymphoma Research Foundation's
annual two-day national patient education conference, the Educational
Forum on Lymphoma, brings together the country's leading lymphoma experts
to discuss the latest information on lymphoma, its treatments, promising
research and clinical trials.
Patient support specialists
lead sessions on survivorship and provide information related to coping
with the many challenges associated with living with cancer. The Ed
Forum offers many opportunities for conference guests to network with
fellow patients and caregivers and to discuss their concerns one-on-one
with our renowned speakers. We are fortunate that the LRF has included
a Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma, Mycosis Fungoides session presented by
Richard Edelson, M.D., Yale University School of Medicine.
The 2003 Ed Forum will take
place on October 24-26 at the Capital Hilton in Washington, D.C. You
can view the schedule on the LRF website at http://www.lymphoma.org,
or call for a brochure and registration information at (800) 500-9976.
