About the Forum
The "White Nights" Forum is one of the largest oncology events, bringing together a wide range of specialists from Russia, neighboring countries and beyond. Its main goal is to join forces of the medical community and share the latest specialized information to improve the quality of medical care and reduce cancer morbidity and mortality.
"The upheavals of recent years have made us stronger, teaching us how to overcome the most difficult situations. Most importantly, during such times, the value of education, relevant medical information, and collaboration among specialists increases significantly. This is the foundation that will help us achieve the goals outlined in the national project Healthcare and the program Combating Cancer."
The International St. Petersburg Oncology Forum "White Nights" is being held for the 12th time since 2015.

The "White Nights" project brings together numerous experts every year: oncologists, pathologists, chemotherapists, surgeons, radiotherapists, radiation diagnosticians, geneticists, healthcare administrators, scientists, patient advocates, charity representatives and others. A separate group of events is aimed at young doctors and scientists who want to actively advance their careers.

Each year, the forum expands its audience and introduces new, modern formats of interaction, including options that allow viewers to participate interactively.
