There are a lot of open questions about sarcomas by patients and patient advocates or even healthcare professionals, but not everybody can attend a congress or a conference to seek answers. SPAEN therefore launched the series of webinars on the SPAEN Advocacy Campus: To tackle important issues and answer relevant questions, we invite renowned experts to share their knowledge with us and answer our questions during a Q&A session.
For those who missed a webinar: Please take a look at the SPAEN Youtube Channel to find recordings of previous webinars.
To join our webinars, you need to use GoToMeeting. If you are unsure or have never used it before, please take a look at this "How-to-Guide".
And if you have any suggestions for topics or questions you'd like to hear about in a webinar, please get in touch on Diese E-Mail-Adresse ist vor Spambots geschützt! Zur Anzeige muss JavaScript eingeschaltet sein!.
