11th - 12th April 2024
Palazzo Bo, Padova
The Pancreatic Cancer Symposium will be the first edition of an international meeting that brings together researchers and clinician-scientists at the forefront of knowledge of pancreatic cancer. It is organized by the Italian Pancreatic Cancer Community and the University of Padova. This congress serves as a platform for the exchange of cutting-edge research, innovative treatments, and multidisciplinary insights aimed at improving outcomes for those affected by pancreatic cancer. Our shared goal is to accelerate progress in the understanding, diagnosis, and management of this complex disease.
DEADLINE: March, 22th, 2024
TRAVEL FELLOWSHIPS AVAILABLE
IPCC invites trainees at all levels to the Symposium and show their work in form of poster or oral presentation. Two abstracts will be selected and presented in plenary sessions. Multiple opportunities to support travel expenses will also be available.
