The 6th International Conference on Aging and Cancer: Targeting Common Drivers of Cancer and Aging will take place in Haikou, China, on 13-14 December 2024.
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 metastasis, to responses to therapy. This year's International Conference on Aging and Cancer will focus on identifying the shared biological mechanisms underlying both aging and cancer, with the goal of developing innovative strategies for cancer prevention and treatment specifically tailored to aging populations. This conference will invite internationally renowned experts with important influence in the field of aging and cancer research to speak in the form of "online & in person".
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. ICAC holds an international conference on aging and cancer annually, bringing together experts from around the world to discuss cutting-edge issues in the field of aging and cancer.
The weather in December is beautiful in Haikou, which is famous for its tropical parks, beaches, mangrove forests and volcanoes. We warmly welcome you to meet in Haikou for academic exchanges and enjoy a grand banquet of academics.
