The 24th JFCR-ISCC

December 11-12, 2019
Miraikan – The National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation 7F
2-3-6, Aomi, Koto-ku, Tokyo, Japan

The 24th JFCR-ISCC is scheduled as indicated above.
The JFCR-ISCC aims at information exchange on the latest findings of newly developing anti-cancer drugs/therapies and the related topics, including molecularly targeted agents, immune checkpoint inhibitors, immunomodulators and their combinations. These anti-cancer drugs/therapies have been developing prominently with global standards. Meanwhile, already launched molecularly targeted drugs and immune checkpoint inhibitors have often been faced with intrinsic resistance, acquired resistance, and side effects. Accessing to the information is indispensable, moreover, informal exchanges of personal, very specific, or even unsuccessful experiences, are critically valuable for effective achievements of future drug/therapy development. I, as the Chairman of the JFCR-ISCC, believe this Symposium with relatively small size will provide you an excellent opportunity for such communications through personal contacts. 
The topics in the upcoming 24th JFCR-ISCC are Microbiome, TKI/Immunotherapy resistance, Genomic profiling tests, and the First-in-class drugs. I hope the Symposium would be an excellent occasion for you to access the domestic and international developments of novel anti-cancer drugs/therapies, and to meet researchers in academia, hospitals and industries. So, I sincerely welcome your participation in the Symposium.
Looking forward to seeing you in Tokyo!
