The NCRI Cancer Conference is the UK's largest forum showcasing the latest advances in cancer research and attracting over 1,500 delegates each year. The Conference provides a platform for researchers, clinicians, people affected by cancer and industry representatives to come together to discuss, present and showcase high-quality research.
With more than 500 presentations – including the latest cancer research from around the world – the Conference will cover the whole cancer field, from epidemiology and research in the lab, to trials of new treatments and quality of life studies.
The Conference is run by the National Cancer Research Institute, a UK-wide partnership* of funders that works to coordinate research related to cancer, to improve the quality and relevance of research and to accelerate translation of the research into clinical practice for the benefit of patients.
