2024 ARGO Symposium

At this year’s ARGO Symposium, the ACTION study hosted an engaging breakout session. Trainees and co-investigators involved in the pilot study came together to share insights in implementation, participate in an interactive Q&A, and gain hands-on experience in drawing pedigrees and capturing detailed family histories - key components in genetic testing and counselling.

2023 ARGO Symposium

The inaugural in-person training was held during the ARGO Symposium in Nigeria from September 26 to 28, 2023. We sponsored approximately 35 healthcare professionals from various geo-political zones in Nigeria to learn about Genetic testing for Hereditary Breast Cancer.

“Thank you for giving me the privilege of the training it will definitely help me in managing patients with Breast Cancer.”
