16th EORTC NCI AACR Symposium 'Molecular Targets and Cancer Therapeutics'

The 16th EORTC-NCI-AACR Symposium on Molecular Targets and Cancer Therapeutics brings 2,000 international cancer experts together to present new data on leading-edge basic, translational and early clinical research.

News briefing:
12.30 hrs CET Thursday 30 September

Speakers and topics:
* Dr. Jacqueline Limpens: Study shows lycopene and vitamin E inhibits growth of prostate tumours in mice, underpinning epidemiological evidence. Phase II trial in patients now under way.

* Dr. Olivier Feron: A revolutionary approach to angiogenesis - exploiting tumour blood vessels to boost chemotherapy and radiotherapy instead of (or before) killing them. Successful mouse study leads to patient trial.

* Professor Eric Van Cutsem: International trial results shows way to measure success of centuximab (Erbitux). Randomised study now under way

Chairman: Professor Jaap Verweij (EORTC chairman of conference scientific committee) together with scientific committee co-chairmen Dr Janet Dancey (NCI) and Dr Eric K Rowinsky (AACR).

NB: any reports involving the topics outlined above are embargoed until the time and date of the news briefing.
