EDITORIAL
Dear Colleagues,
It’s a privilege to invite you to the 2nd Aegean Hematology Oncology Symposium which will be held on 17-20 September 2015 in Chios. The Symposium
is co-organized by the University of Athens (School of Medicine) and the Athens
Medical Society in collaboration with the Turkish Medical Association of EHOD (Aegean Hematology Oncology Society).
This meeting is planned to share country perspectives on hematology oncology topics between Greek and Turkish clinicians, to exchange experiences and to
create the basis for multi-center, multi- national studies. During the last years,
there was a significant progress in the biology of hematological malignancies that
led to the development of several novel drugs in the field. The scientific program
includes all these data presented by experienced hematologists and it is organized in well-balanced interactive sessions and teaching programs focusing on the
needs of hematology/oncology clinicians.
We selected Chios Island for this meeting due to its mutual historical and cultural background and its unique nature.
We hope that you enjoy both the scientific program and the beauties of Chios
and we thank you in advance for your contribution in the development of this
meeting in order to be even better than the first one which was held in Athens in
September 2014.
On behalf of the Organizing Committee
Evangelos Terpos & Guray Saydam
