The outcome for patients with CML has significantly improved with TKI therapies\, yet challenges persist in adequate monitoring which is expensive. The lack of co-ordinated multidisciplinary care needed for osteogenic sarcoma led to many lost to follow up and incomplete treatments with poor outcomes. MDTs prior to treatment is a potential strategy for reversing this trend.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row] URL:https://kesho-kenya.org/event/topic-bcr-abl-and-osteogenic-sarcoma/ LOCATION:Sarova Panafric Hotel\, Nairobi\, Kenya.\, Kenya CATEGORIES:CME 2019,Continuing Medical Education (CME) END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Africa/Nairobi:20190829T170000 DTEND;TZID=Africa/Nairobi:20190829T200000 DTSTAMP:20260423T230916 CREATED:20210420T153328Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250622T142510Z UID:4734-1567098000-1567108800@kesho-kenya.org SUMMARY:SSA Breast Cancer DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Another busy month for us with three meetings in October. First off\, Prof Asim Jamal Medical Oncologist gave an excellent overview of presentation\, diagnosis and management of neuroendocrine tumors which are not as rare as originally felt. KESHO then partnered with Pathologists Lancet Kenya to discuss molecular diagnostics in hemato-oncology. Speakers from France and our very own experts deliberated on the changing landscape of hemato-oncology and what is practical in our setting. Finally\, a multidisciplinary webinar session on breast cancer concluded our sessions for the month in recognition of the Breast Cancer Awareness month\, with presentations from Dr. Gladwell Kiarie Medical Oncologist\, Dr. Fred Okuku Medical Oncologist\, Dr. Aba Anoa Scott Radiation/Clinical Oncologist and Prof. Ronald Wasike Breast Surgeon.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row] URL:https://kesho-kenya.org/event/ssa-breast-cancer/ LOCATION:Sarova Panafric Hotel\, Nairobi\, Kenya.\, Kenya CATEGORIES:CME 2019 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Africa/Nairobi:20190627T110000 DTEND;TZID=Africa/Nairobi:20190627T200000 DTSTAMP:20260423T230916 CREATED:20210420T154157Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250622T142511Z UID:4738-1561633200-1561665600@kesho-kenya.org SUMMARY:TOPIC: Paediatric Malignancies; Optimising Care In Acute Leukaemia DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]We directed our focus on hematology and this time we concentrated on pediatric malignancies.

We got a glimpse on the myriad challenges our colleagues in hematology face in the management of pediatric hematological malignancies including complicated regimens\, high rate of drop outs and poor supportive care. The outcome was to continue in the process of development of national treatment protocols that can be used which can also help in comparing treatment outcomes in the different settings.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row] URL:https://kesho-kenya.org/event/topic-paediatric-malignancies-optimising-care-in-acute-leukaemia/ LOCATION:Sarova Panafric Hotel\, Nairobi\, Kenya.\, Kenya CATEGORIES:CME 2019,Continuing Medical Education (CME) END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Africa/Nairobi:20190523T200000 DTEND;TZID=Africa/Nairobi:20190523T220000 DTSTAMP:20260423T230916 CREATED:20210420T154450Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250622T142511Z UID:4740-1558641600-1558648800@kesho-kenya.org SUMMARY:TOPIC: Colon Cancer; A Multidisciplinary Approach DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]This was a busy month for our members with three educational events!
