Pascale” National Cancer Institute, organized the conference “Technologies, Management and Processes for the Innovation of the Campania Oncology Network: Next Steps”, held at Villa Doria d’Angri.
The event brought together institutional representatives, healthcare professionals, and researchers to explore the organizational challenges and innovation opportunities of the Campania Oncology Network (ROC), with particular emphasis on the role of technology and management in improving care pathways.
