“The 118ͼ�� Conference on The Challenges Preventing Cancer Cure was absolutely fantastic; it was an amazing experience to be completely immersed in the key oncology topics for the three days. To be surrounded by such brilliant minds, and listening to the debates and experiences was a real privilege.
