2ND NATIONAL MELANOMA CONFERENCE 2014
SKMRC is proud to announce it will be hosting the second national melanoma conference in Perth, WA in October this year.
Friday 10 & Saturday 11 October 2014
The National Conference will bring together academics, clinicians, industry and consumers to present recent breakthroughs and discuss current challenges for the future in the detection and treatment of melanoma.
This is an exciting time for research discoveries and the beginning of a new era in treatment advances in melanoma.
The conference is dedicated to bringing a broad range of Australia’s melanoma specialists together from clinical, basic research, epidemiological and patient advocacy associations and we aim to ensure it is a memorable meeting for all our delegates.
Session topics will include:
- Genetics/Epigenetics
- Preclinical studies
- Molecular pathology and cellular resistance
- Epidemiology
- Clinical research
- Radiology/Imaging
- Pathology
Over two days we will cover the most up to date developments in both clinical and academic research related to melanoma. To help us achieve this goal, we have Australia’s national melanoma treasures attending as plenary speakers, as well as three of the world’s leading experts in tumour biology and clinical trial outcomes presenting keynote sessions.
