Welcome Message

OOTR – The Organisation for Oncology and Translational Research is pleased to announce that the OOTR 6th Annual Conference will be held from 26th (Fri) to 27th (Sat) February 2010 at the Westin Miyako Hotel, Kyoto.

OOTR has conducted several important clinical trials since its establishment in 2002 in conjunction with high-tech Translational Research to find an optimal treatment strategy and individualised treatment modalities for cancer patients.

OOTR has received valuable comments from both young and established professionals who have been involved in the field of cancer therapeutic research since the first edition which took place in Hong Kong, 2004. Every conference has had a remarkable outcome and has defined the cornerstones to help guide the latest scientific findings toward improving cancer treatment and prevention.

In recent years, the importance of the uses of biomarkers in Oncological and Translational Research has increased. The selected theme for this conference will be "Oncological Biomarkers and Clinical Applications", mainly focusing on "Prognosis and Predictive factors for gain / Biomarker". It is with great honour that we will be able to invite eminent international speakers to fully take part in the activities. They will deliver their latest valuable lectures on more appropriate therapeutic research and advancement of more individualised treatments.

OOTR will offer you a unique opportunity to join this conference as a perfect meeting-place to share experiences and evaluate emerging technologies. We sincerely look forward to your presence in 2010.
