I am pleased to inform you that accreditation approval has been granted for the 3rd Biennial Meeting of InSiGHT (event code CME-0604), by the Accreditation Council of Oncology in Europe (ACOE). 

Approval by ACOE permits the organizers to “advertise the fact that conference has achieved CME accreditation approval, which means that the program has been recognized a high quality value both from a scientific and didactic point of view”.
