AOMA Virtual Summit
Australia's biggest ocular melanoma virtual meeting
Each year, Melanoma and Skin Cancer Trials along with its special interest group, the Australasian Ocular Melanoma Alliance (AOMA), hold a Virtual Summit. This full-day, online meeting brings together healthcare professionals, researchers, and consumers in ocular melanoma to share the latest research and facilitate national and international collaborations for this rare, aggressive, and often devastating cancer.
This free online event features international and Australian ocular melanoma experts, along with consumers who talk about their experiences with ocular melanoma. The summit covers the latest in clinical trials, ocular melanoma therapies, advances in ophthalmology, new Australian and international research, radiation oncology, and more. Attendees can watch from anywhere in the world as well as access the session videos online.
