Progress in experimental cancer research has defined a plethora of new potential targets for cancer therapy, some of which have already lead to tailor-made treatments blocking particular kinases by small molecules or interfering with signal transduction by blocking receptors with the help of specific antibodies. Yet the speed with which academic, biotech and pharma-research churn out new pathogenic principles, targets and drug candidates has to be matched by clinical research in order to bring potential new treatments to the patient. This was already an important topic at the 12th AEK Cancer Congress in the year 2003 and it is the reason why the sections AEK and AIO within the German Cancer Research Society, representing basic experimental and clinical research respectively, have formally joined forces to co-organise the 13th International AEK/AIO Cancer Congress. We invite you to join us in this event.
The congress will be a truly internationalforum for all the different players that contribute to the fight against cancer, the disease that may surpass all other causes of mortality in developed countries in the years to come.
Sessions will cover basic genetic and epigenetic mechanisms related to uncontrolled cell growth and invasiveness and we will highlight the contribution of tools such as RNA interference, proteomics and animal models in elucidating proliferative mechanisms.
From the clinical perspective the development and application of new drugs will take center stage and the best strategies for various tumor entities will be discussed.
A special emphasis will be put on developments in biotech-companies that have established themselves as the third driver of innovation in cancer-therapy next to academic research and the pharma-industry.
Würzburg, the venue of the conference, has a remark-able history in research on cancer development and diagnosis. Rudolf Virchow, Wilhelm Konrad Röntgen and Theodor Boveri have contributed groundbreaking work. We are looking forward to honour David M. Livingston with the Boveri Award for Molecular Cancer Genetics.
This years awardees of the German Cancer Award and the AIO Science Award will also be honoured at the occasion of the conference.
