ESHO 2017

ONCOTHERM was PLATINUM SPONSOR of the ESHO 2017- Hellenic Society for Oncologic Hyperthermia

We proudly inform you that Oncotherm attended the ESHO conference in Athens between 21 June and 23 June. We are honored to be platinum sponsor of such a successful event.

The new device, EHY-2030 was presented during the conference and debut film was screened several times to the audience’s great pleasure. Many people visited the booth and had a tremendous interest in the new product.
The participants were interested in watching the experiment which showed that Oncotherm is capable of focusing the energy to the given target without heating up the surrounding. We invited the participants to a small game and those who successfully completed the quick quiz were rewarded with a gift pack.

The audience welcomed our presentations with great interest. There were 15 oral presentations and 7 posters connected to oncothermia. The lecturers were from several countries, for example: Hungary, Russia, South-Africa, Greece, Taiwan, America. This shows the popularity of oncothermia as well.

Hopefully we will see you shortly at such successful conferences as this one.
