Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue of Cancers will consist of selected papers from the Meeting on Cancer Science and Targeted Therapy Conference (https://www.cancertherapyconference.com/) taking place in Melbourne (Australia), on 23–25 March 2020.
We are pleased to announce the Cancer Therapy 2020 scientific meeting on 23–25 March 2020 in Melbourne. Although cancer still poses a formidable challenge to clinicians and researchers, recent advances in omics, single-cell analyses, and computational biology are closing the gap towards reaching the goal of developing therapies tailored to single-patient needs. Furthermore, major discoveries in the field of cancer immunotherapy and its combination with molecularly targeted approaches have led to the optimistic view that more effective treatments for the most challenging solid tumors, such as lung, pancreatic, and brain cancers, will be eventually available. We, therefore, invite national and international eminent researchers to discuss basic research, translational research, and clinical trials.
The meeting aims to bring together pioneers in basic and translational cancer research interested in all aspects of oncology including cancer genomics, biology, endocrinology, signaling, immunology and, also, novel diagnostic methods.
There will be a particular focus on the development of new biomarkers and “out of the box”, innovative therapeutic strategies. This Special Issue will publish the most exciting and timely research papers presented at the conference.
