The official language of the Symposium is English. Sessions will not be
translated.
The Local Program Committee, together with the International Advisory Committee, have selected and invited world-leading specialists on cancer research to present and discuss the most recent advances in their respective fields.
As the International Charles Heidelberger Symposia on Cancer Research are broad cancer research meetings, the program is bound to attract participants with diverse interests. The Scientific Program includes the following sessions:
