About the conference
The Frankfurt Cancer Conference is a three-day on-site meeting of internationally leading cancer researchers as well as junior scientists and clinical oncologists. The main theme of the conference in 2024 is “Targeting the tumor-host interface”.
The ongoing translational research activities of the University Cancer Center (UCT) Frankfurt, the German Cancer Consortium (DKTK) in Frankfurt/Mainz and the Frankfurt Cancer Institute (FCI) provide the framework for the conference. International, national and local research activities will be presented with focus on the following topics:
- Metabolism at the tumor-host interface
- Targeted cell therapy
- Molecular drug discovery
- Modulating immunotherapy response
- Post-transcriptional disease mechanisms
- Exploitation of the tumor microenvironment
Target audience
The conference targets basic and translational researchers as well as oncologists who are interested in cancer biology, novel cancer therapies and mechanism-based clinical trials. We want to encourage both early-career cancer researchers as well as clinical oncologists to participate and present their work to the international community. There will be plenty of opportunities to interact with experts in the field of cancer research and to establish or deepen collaborations in an inspiring atmosphere.
