The 5th International Conference on Aging and Cancer, hosted by International Center for Aging and Cancer (ICAC), will be held in Haikou from December 15th to 16th, 2023.
Aging represents the major risk factor for cancer – 90% of cancers occur in people over the age of 50, and the age of the patient influences every aspect of cancer pathogenesis, from premalignant growths, to metastases, to responses to therapy. The theme of this year's International Conference on Aging and Cancer will be on defining and identification of aging drivers, the impact of aging drivers on cancer pathogenesis, and the effect of targeting aging drivers on cancer prevention and treatment. This conference will include internationaly renowned and influential experts in the field of aging and cancer research to speak in the forum of both virtually and in-person. The meeting will also be streamed live, detail instructions of which will be forwarded to conference attendees after registration.
ICAC was jointly established by the Hainan Medical University, Ruijin Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine, and the Samuel Waxman Cancer Research Foundation (SWCRF) in 2020. ICAC's mission is to advance the understanding of aging and cancer through innovative laboratory, translational, and clinical research in response to the growing problem of global aging and the high incidence of aging-related cancers.
Haikou has a pleasant climate in December. We warmly welcome you to join us in Haikou for this important conference.
