Call for Papers: 1st Annual International Conference on Advances in Cancer Medical Research

November 18-19, 2013 Bangkok, Thailand

Full Paper Submission Deadline: 19th July 2013 

The conference aims to explore recent developments to fight cancer turning the disease into a chronic, instead of a fatal one. Efforts have been ongoing since the 1970s and are providing a challenge to researchers due to the complexity of cancer. Ranging from epidemiology, molecular bioscience to the performance of clinical trials to evaluate and compare applications of the various cancer treatments, cancer research identify the causes and develop strategies for prevention, diagnosis, treatments and cure.

ACMR aims to gather researchers, practitioners and educators all over the world to exchange/share research evidence, practical experiences, models of best practice and innovative ideas on issues related to Cancer Medical Research.

Papers/topics dealing with Advances in Cancer Medical Research including but not limited to:

• Stem cell research

• Molecular research on cancer cells

• Clinical Cases in Cancer

• Cancer Education

• Diagnosis of Cancer

• Cancer Health Disparities

• Oncology and Cancer Biology

• Cancer Treatment and Cancer Management

• Clinical Management of Cancer

• Cancer Immunology

• Viral Oncology

• Environmental Carcinogens and Cancer Prevention and Control

• Chemical Therapeutics

• Cancer Imaging

• Allied Health Session – Extending our Knowledge of Treatment: Impacts and Outcomes

• Collaborative Care – Current Concepts in Multidisciplinary Management
