Conference Description

The 2019 GRC on Hormone-Dependent Cancers will continue with a focus on bed-to-bedside science, including presentation on novel targets and pathways in breast, prostate, gynecological and other cancers. We will present historical perspectives on targeting hormone-dependent cancers, and importantly will include state-of-the-art approaches, such as the use of “Big Data”, and immune oncology studies. Early stage and experienced investigators, academic and industry representatives will present.

Related Meeting

This GRC will be held in conjunction with the "Hormone-Dependent Cancers" Gordon Research Seminar (GRS). Those interested in attending both meetings must submit an application for the GRS in addition to an application for the GRC. Refer to the associated GRS program page for more information.
