Skin Cancer Symposium, Cape Town, 1-2 March 2024
We hope that local Trade will come out strongly in support of this meeting once again.
Dear Colleagues
We are very excited to bring you the next Skin Cancer Symposium, 27-28 February 2026.
Dr Dagmar Whitaker and Dr Sze Wai Chan are the congress presidents, Prof Axel Hauschild and Dr Willie Visser are forming the scientific committee
The Symposium will bring 8 international speakers from around the globe, as well as speakers from South Africa.
It is a truly interdisciplinary meeting for dermatologists, oncologists, plastic surgeons and pathologists. Topics to be covered in this summit will include skin cancer prevention and sun protection, treatments ranging from traditional treatments to newer approaches namely targeted therapy and immunotherapy for various stages of melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancers, as well as new trends in molecular testing, surgery related to skin cancer and an ethics session on improved access in under resourced countries.
In addition to the summit sessions, 2 trade symposia will be held on the morning of 27 and 28 February 2026.
We believe it is an important academic meeting, supported by the Melanoma Society of South Africa as well as the World Melanoma Society and is aimed at continuous improvement of skin cancer management in our country and continent.
We look forward to seeing you there.
Kind Regards
Dr Dagmar Whitaker , Dr Sze Wai Chan, Prof Axel Hauschild, Dr Willie Visser
