The 17th JFCR-ISCC

December 5 (Wed)- 6 (Thu), 2012
Miraikan (National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation)
2-3-6, Aomi, Koto-ku, Tokyo, Japan

The 17th JFCR-International Symposium on Cancer Chemotherapy (JFCR-ISCC) is scheduled as indicated above. I sincerely welcome your participation in this Symposium.

The JFCR-ISCC aims at information exchange on the latest findings of newly developing molecular-targeted anti-cancer drugs and the related topics. Molecular-targeted anti-cancer drugs have been developing prominently with global standards. Meanwhile, already launched molecular-targeted drugs have often been faced with rather quickly acquired resistance, and various challenges against the resistance are rapidly evolving. Accessing to these information is indispensable, moreover, informal exchanges of personal, very specific, or even unsuccessful experiences, are critically valuable for effective achievements of drug development. I believe the JFCR-ISCC with relatively small size will provide you an excellent opportunity for such communication through personal contacts.

In the upcoming 17th JFCR-ISCC, mechanisms of drug resistance and their conquest are the main topics. I hope the Symposium would be an excellent occasion for you to access the domestic and international developments of new anticancer drugs and also to meet scientists, clinicians, and drug developers.

Looking forward to seeing you in Tokyo,

Mitsuaki Yoshida, Ph.D.
Chairman, JFCR-ISCC
Director, Cancer Chemotherapy Center, JFCR
