American Association for Cancer Research

2008 Molecular Targets and Cancer Therapeutics

October 21 - 24, 2008
Geneva Palexpo
Geneva, Switzerland


This symposium, hosted by EORTC, NCI and AACR, brought together academics and scientists and representatives from the pharmaceutical industry to discuss innovations in drug development, target selection, and the impact of new discoveries in molecular and cell biology. Understanding the pathways and mechanisms which cause cancer and regulate the biological behavior of tumor cells has lead to the development of numerous new agents and innovative targets for clinical trials. This conference was organized to reflect the many recent advances in the early development of promising new compounds, which are in different levels of preclinical and clinical development. Delegates from all over the world joined together in Geneva to ignite a huge exchange of information and develop new global partnerships in translational research.
