(CANCELED) 2020 Immunotherapy Patient Summit in Buffalo

The CRI Immunotherapy Patient Summit in Buffalo on April 18 is CANCELED.

As you may be aware, the situation regarding the recently identified coronavirus continues to evolve. In evaluating whether to move ahead with the CRI Immunotherapy Patient Summit, we have been consulting with infectious disease experts at our host institution, the Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center. 

Based on their latest advice and an abundance of caution, we have decided to cancel the event. We are truly sorry for any inconvenience this decision may cause and trust you understand that our top concern is your health and the health of our community. There has been a great deal of interest in this event, and we hope to reschedule for another date soon.

If you have questions, please feel free to email us directly at [email protected]. We look forward to seeing you at a future event.
