About SOS
There has been a tremendous breakthrough in our understanding of cancer, and, more crucially, in our ability to control and cure it. This has occurred during the previous few decades as a result of advancements in a variety of domains, including surgical techniques, imaging, radiation equipment, and our ability to understand what is going on at the cellular level.
The Scientific Oncology Society (SOS) has been established in 2021 under registration number 4234 – 2021 and with the support and endorsement of the Egyptian Ministry of Health and Population. SOS aims to bring cutting-edge knowledge in the field of oncology to the forefront and to demonstrate what is now achievable in the world of cancer management.
