Dear Attendee:

We are ramping up for what will be one of the largest meetings ever in the field of bone and soft tissue tumors. Both the Connective Tissue Society (CTOS) and Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) have joined forces to hold this unprecedented meeting of international leaders, designed to push the envelope in the understanding, care and management of sarcomas and related tumors. Both societies encourage members to network and take advantage of paper and poster presentations offered, with additional highlight sessions in career development, invited lectures and the meeting of SARC. Be sure to extend an invitation to the Nurse and Allied Health staff for a one-day parallel program designed especially for their interests. The 2011 Combined CTOS / MSTS Meeting will be held Wednesday, October 26 - Saturday, October 29 in Chicago at the Sheraton Chicago Hotel & Towers. Papers are being solicited in all program areas.

Join us for an Exciting Educational and Networking Opportunity!
