International Symposium on Pheochromocytoma: Working Together Today for a Better Tomorrow
06/28/2012 - 06/29/2012
This conference, sponsored by the National Institute of Child Health & Human Development and the NIH Office of Rare Diseases Research, will be unique in that will address both adult and pediatric issues, while giving primary care providers a complete picture of the disease and the opportunity to meet many patients, families, and researchers from around the world. The international researchers will help enlarge the knowledge base for diagnosing and treating Pheochromocytoma and Paraganaglioma in both pediatric and adult patients. The mix of participants will also reduce the need to have separate meetings, and increase interactions between the many audiences that must be involved in bench-to-bedside research.
