organizer: EACR
location: Cambridge, UK
The PIVAC annual conferences remain true to ideals of the first in the series, which also took place in Cambridge, in 2001. They are public but limited in size to maximally 90 participants, are residential, and provide much scope for close interactions among attendees in addition to offering an exciting program of presentations. This year, the emphasis will be on adjuvants, peptide and DNA vaccines, T cell monitoring and T cell adoptive immunotherapy.
A meeting report will be published in "Cancer Immunology Immunotherapy" along with "Focussed Research Reviews" loosely based on the presentations of selected speakers.
We look forward to welcoming you to Cambridge later this year.

topic: Molecular imaging in radiation oncology
organizer: ESTRO
location: Brussels, Belgium
Molecular imaging is also being evaluated for its ability to help define target volumes for radiotherapy by introducing the biological component of tumour and normal tissues. Such an approach could potentially lead to delivering a more adequate dose to some part of the target volume, thus paving the way to the concept of “dose painting”.
And this is just the beginning with many more challenges ahead of us!
In this thrilling environment, the European Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology (ESTRO) and the European Association for Nuclear Medicine (EANM) have the pleasure to invite you to participate to the first MOLECULAR IMAGING IN RADIATION ONCOLOGY (MIRO) meeting that will be held in Brussels (Belgium) on the 18th -20th March 2010.
With major emphasis on MULTIDISCIPLINARY AND INNOVATION, this conference will more specifically cover the following topics:
• Methodological approaches in Molecular Imaging
• Molecular imaging to decipher tumour biology
• New tracers: beyond FDG
• Molecular imaging to personalize treatment in oncology
• State of the art and future prospects in the clinical use of molecular imaging in radiation oncology
• Molecular Imaging radiation dose painting
The format o€f the conference will combine “state of the art lectures”, lectures on innovative approaches, and proffered papers. Ample time will be given for discussions to allow in-depth interactions among the various disciplines and the participants.
It is hoped that the mix of a rich and challenging scientific programme, and the never ending attraction of the city of Brussels will convince you to attend this conference on MOLECULAR IMAGING IN RADIATION ONCOLOGY.

location: L'Hospitalet de Llobregat, Barcelona, Spain
At present, novel therapies are being designed against proteins encoded by genes that are genetically or epigenetically altered in cancer or against components that mediate their biological function. In this promising setting, gaining knowledge on the complete set of tumour suppressor genes implicated in cancer development as well as the understanding of their biological role and the interconnection with other biochemical pathways is essential. The main goals of this workshop are to discuss novel findings in our understanding of the biological pathways to which tumor suppressor are involved, advances in clinical management of cancer families and identification of novel tumor suppressors.

topic: Senology
organizer: Instituto Valenciano de Oncologia and Spanish Society of Senology
location: Valencia Convention Center, Valencia, Spain
The aim of the Senologic International Society (SIS) – as it is shown in its By - Laws - is to gather the Scientific Societies, Associations and Groups from all over the world that share the common objectives of promoting the knowledge in Biology and Medicine with the purpose of collaboration in prevention, diagnosis, treatment and research of breast diseases. Since 1976, when SIS was founded, it has developed a non-stop activity closely linked to train professionals devoted to these diseases in its benign or malignant presentation.
The Spanish Society of Senology and Breast Disease (SESPM), founded in 1980, has nowadays a membership of nearly one thousand affiliates. It is one of the most active members of SIS and it shares the same objectives. It has a web site and a scientific journal which are its way of expression. Many results from national clinic and basic research are published there. In this sense both Societies develop Training Courses, Symposiums, and Establishment of Consensus for the different specialists that participate in those institutions, and collaborate in different publications about breast health and its pathology.
One of the most significant activities is the performance of Congresses, where the newest information and the last advances in Senology, are presented in a multidisciplinary approach.
SIS (www.sisbreast.org) has performed Congresses in Shangai, Zagreb, Houston, Boston and other important cities of the world, and SESPM (www.sespm.es) in different Spanish cities during the last thirty years. Next Congress will be held in October 20th – 22nd, in Valencia, Spain. It will gather both Societies, offering a big opportunity for acquisition and updating the last scientific advances in Senology. More than one thousand five hundred attendants are expected. The Preliminary Scientific Congress Program is attached for your information.

topic: Skin cancer of the head and neck
organizer: The Netherlands Cancer Institute
location: Amsterdam
Skin cancers are the most common malignancies occurring in the Caucasian population. Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) represents 75%, squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) 20% and melanoma 5% of all skin cancers. Over the last decade a significant increase of skin cancer incidence has been noted and it is predicted that skin cancer rates will continue to rise for the forthcoming decades.
Despite the fact that the highest incidence of skin cancer is found in the head and neck, timely recognition of the malignant state of the disease and appropriate diagnosis making is often delayed and contributes to a considerable amount of late referrals to cancer clinics. The adequate diagnosis and treatment of head and neck skin cancer is strongly dependent on a multidisciplinary approach with active participation of various medical specialists.
