OOTR 2012 - 8th Annual international medical conference

OOTR - The Organisation for Oncology and Translational Research is very pleased to announce that the OOTR 8th Annual Conference will be held from 20th (Fri) to 21st (Sat) April 2012 at the Westin Miyako Hotel, Kyoto, Japan.

Since the last successful conference held in Hong Kong in 2010, OOTR has continued to conduct a wide range of detailed clinical trials alongside high-tech Translational Research, pushing on further than ever before in finding an optimal treatment strategy and a range of individualised treatment modalities for cancer patients.

A great deal of valuable feedback from seasoned oncology professionals as well as newcomers to the field has been gratefully received and acted on by OOTR helping us to continue our progress into cancer therapeutic research. Ever since the founding meeting held in Hong Kong in 2004, OOTR has continued to learn and grow with the passing of each annual conference. Every conference has had a fundamental bearing on how we define treatment and guidelines regarding the latest scientific findings and methodologies toward improving cancer treatment and prevention.

Based upon valuable lessons learned from the previous conferences, the OOTR 8th Annual Conference will this time focus on cancer stem cells and cancer stroma. There will be lectures on angiogenesis, predictive biomarkers for cancer therapy, prevention of oncological diseases and hormone dependency and therapy. We will be holding in-depth sessions in which we will discuss the promotion of more appropriate therapeutic research and the advancement of more individualised treatments.

We sincerely hope that at OOTR 8th Annual Conference you will have a perfect opportunity to participate fully in discussions, share your experiences, meet other like-minded professionals and be able to evaluate state-of-the-art hi-tech emerging technologies. We look forward to meeting you and sharing ideas with you at the conference.
