‘A high-level event. I appreciated the opportunity to watch the recorded sessions afterwards, as it was impossible to attend all those events that were held simultaneously. For us, health care specialists from small towns, such events are extremely important. Thanks!'

‘Thanks to all the organizers of the Oncology Forum White Nights. The presentations on drug therapy were particularly engaging. Excellent surgical session! I also joined the session on palliative care, that has become a tradition for me. Over the recent years this is probably the most advanced online conference I have attended. Special thanks to E.N. Namenitov and A.M. Karachun.’
