May 5, 2026
Full-Day CME Event in Rochester, N.Y., Will Feature Leading Oncology Experts Across All Major Cancer Types
SARASOTA, Fla., May 5, 2026 — CineMed, the organizer and accrediting body for this continuing medical education activity, announced today the full faculty lineup for the Oncology Brothers’ Third Annual Upstate Cancer Symposium. The event will be held June 20 from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. ET at the Hyatt Regency Rochester in Rochester, New York. SignifyMD will manage exhibits and sponsorship opportunities for industry partners.
Now in its third year, the Upstate Cancer Symposium is a comprehensive, single-day CME event that brings the latest oncology research and treatment advances to community-based healthcare providers. The program will be co-moderated by the hosts of the widely followed Oncology Brothers podcast — Rahul Gosain, M.D., MBA, a practicing community hematologist/oncologist at Wilmot Cancer Institute in Rochester, and Rohit Gosain, M.D., of Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center in Buffalo, New York.
“We created this symposium to close the gap between major academic conferences and community clinical practice, where clinicians are on the front lines of cancer care every day,” Dr. Rahul Gosain said. “Each year, we bring world-class faculty to the upstate New York region to translate the latest data into practical, actionable insights.”
