Keeping pace with rapid change

  • VCCC Alliance

In the past three decades we have seen a significant increase in cancer survival rates from 50 to 70%. Now, as genomics, personalised medicine, immunotherapy, big data, new technologies and major improvements in patient care come together, we are on the cusp of a new upswing in these numbers. Overcoming cancer is closer than ever to reality.

In this time of rapid progress, keeping abreast of the latest research and news is almost a job in itself.

Where does your research fit in? What’s happening in other tumour streams? Are there new approaches you can apply to your work? What does the future of cancer care look like? How can consumers contribute to better cancer science and medicine?

Many of these questions will be examined at the VCCC Research Conference 2019: the next wave.

Our committee has curated an outstanding multidisciplinary scientific program that will take you on a journey from the latest basic research applications to revolutionary new therapies and from best-practice in care to the transformative impact of AI technologies.

More than 50 speakers from many disciplines
Speakers include Olivia Newton-John AC, OBE; Dr Bertalan Mesko; Professor Doug Hanahan; Professor Helen Heslop; Professor Afaf Girgis AM and Professor Sanchia Aranda AO, along with more than 40 other speakers.

Discover, learn, question, discuss and network with delegates from across the spectrum of cancer care.

Whether you’re a cancer researcher, clinician, nurse, allied health professional or a consumer; if you only go to one cancer conference this year - this is it.

The great value tickets for this two day event, thanks to Bristol-Myers Squibb include a three course dinner in the Sofitel Ballroom with the highly-entertaining Brian Nankervis as MC and featuring Olivia Newton-John in conversation with Professor Jonathan Cebon.
