WELCOME TO THE 10th
SWOC 2024
When we decided to organize the first Sarajevo Winter Oncology Conference 10 years ago, we were driven by the desire to build new bridges of cooperation and friendship among oncologists in the region.
We believed that only through the adoption of new knowledge, joint projects and through the exchange of ideas and experiences can we progress and provide our patients with better treatment.
With the help of our friends from pharmaceutical companies who, like us, recognized the importance of cooperation, the conference became better and better every year.
We are happy and excited to offer the quality of programming and professional interaction that SWOC was built and known for.
Welcome to the 10th Sarajevo Winter Oncology Conference!
Prof. Ph.D. Semir Bešlija
President of the Association of Oncologists in Bosnia and Herzegovina
