The Texas School of Mental Health is proud to share that our work in Psycho-oncology was presented at the 6th Emirates Oncology Society (EOS) Annual Conference 2025 in Dubai.
Dr. Tahreen Syed, Global Head – Psycho Oncology, presented a poster highlighting the critical role of mental health and psychosocial support in the cancer journey.
While the conference was largely centered on clinical oncology, this representation brought attention to the need for an integrated model of care, where medical treatment and mental health support go hand in hand.
We thank the Emirates Oncology Society for providing a platform that recognizes and values the contribution of psycho-oncology to global cancer care.
