This event will unite top scientists, clinicians, and researchers to explore the latest advancements in childhood cancer research and treatment. Topics of focus will include the mechanisms behind childhood cancer, developmental factors in cancer, and the discovery and translation of novel therapeutic targets, with an emphasis on immunology and immuno-oncology in pediatric cancers. The conference will cover vital areas such as cancer biology, early detection methods, and the role of ctDNA in diagnosis. Additionally, we’ll discuss the integration of molecular techniques into diagnostics and the latest progress in pediatric clinical trials. This is a unique opportunity to be at the forefront of pediatric cancer research and contribute to shaping the future of treatment.
