About the Symposium
Format of the Symposium
The Symposium format has been designed to provide an interactive forum for debate, and to especially encourage discussion of the critical questions and future challenges in tumour monitoring. These questions and challenges will be addressed in 4 sessions:
- 1 -The translation barrier: problems and solutions in moving from animal models to clinical trials
- 2 - The potential clinical use of MRS in oncology
- 3 - Detecting genomic biomarkers from high-dimensional clinical data
- 4 - Opportunities of preneoplasia for a pre-emptive strike
Each session will have invited speakers and a 45 minute panel discussion. There will also be a number of short talks (15 minute presentation) selected on the basis of the submitted abstract.
All delegates will have the opportunity to present a poster at the Symposium. Posters can be portrait or landscape, maximum size A0 (841 x 1189 mm).
If you submit an abstract (for a short talk and/or poster) it is important that you tell us for which session it should be considered.
