AMMAN — HRH Princess Ghida Talal, chairperson of the King Hussein Cancer Foundation’s board of trustees, on Thursday inaugurated the fourth conference jointly organised by the King Hussein Cancer Centre (KHCC), the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Centre and the American University of Beirut Medical Centre. Speaking at the opening ceremony, the princess said the KHCC will continue to offer services to cancer patients. “... Like all of you I sure look forward to the day when our services are no longer needed, when we have been so successful as to consign ourselves to become obsolete, inshallah,” she added.

KHCC Director Asem Mansour said 250 participants, including specialised doctors and researchers, are participating in the two-day conference.

Maysa Al Hussaini, head of the conference’s organising committee, noted that 89 research papers in the various fields of oncology will be discussed at the gathering, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.
