On behalf of the International Society of Ocular Oncology, we are delighted to welcome you to the very First Meeting of the International Society of Ocular Oncology in Africa. This unique event is scheduled to take place in Mombasa, Kenya, from August 21 to 23, 2023. ISOO Africa will precede the Annual College of Ophthalmology of Eastern Central and Southern Africa (COECSA) Conference scheduled on August 23-25, 2023 at the same location. With the loosening of the world’s COVID restrictions we are now able to bring you this unique, fully physical Meeting. A chance to connect with colleagues from around the region as well as peers from other continents. For those that are not able to attend this meeting in person we are working on a virtual option for the sessions.
Africa presents unique challenges in the field of ocular oncology; this inaugural event will have an exciting program with distinguished speakers both from the region and the rest of the world. ISOO Africa will cover the most pressing topics in Ocular Oncology facing the African Continent. In this region Uveal melanoma is considered somewhat rare, but Retinoblastoma is found to be relatively common due to high birth rates and large populations. Conjunctival tumors are also common, especially ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN) and, like retinoblastoma, many cases are diagnosed late posing difficulties in management and resulting in a poor prognosis. These topics will be discussed in detail during ISOO AFRICA 2023 with lectures from international and regional speakers, case study presentations, and oral presentations from abstract submissions.
Join us to discuss and learn about these specific challenges in the field of ocular oncology in the African continent!
