The NCRI Cancer Conference is the UK’s largest forum showcasing the latest advances in cancer research. We unite the brightest minds to discuss and debate some of the greatest issues in the field. 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. By bringing together professionals from all cancer research disciplines, in all research settings, we create a unique environment for interdisciplinary learning and the cross-fertilisation of ideas.
