The 21st JFCR-ISCC

December 14 (Wed)- 15 (Thu), 2016
Miraikan (National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation)
2-3-6, Aomi, Koto-ku, Tokyo, Japan

The 21st JFCR-International Symposium on Cancer Chemotherapy (JFCR-ISCC) is scheduled as indicated above.
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 future drug development. I, as the Chairman of the JFCR-ISCC, believe the Symposium with relatively small size will provide you an excellent opportunity for such communication through personal contacts.
In the upcoming 21st JFCR-ISCC, immuno-oncology, epigenetics, and protein knockdown are the focused topics. I hope the Symposium would be an excellent occasion for you to access the domestic and international developments of novel anti-cancer drugs and also to meet scientists, clinicians, and drug developers. So, I sincerely welcome your participation in the Symposium.

Looking forward to seeing you in Tokyo,

Naoya Fujita, Ph.D.
Chairman, JFCR-ISCC
Center Director, Cancer Chemotherapy Center, JFCR
