This conference aims to bring together researchers and experts from the wide range of basic to clinical fields of cancer research, academia, and biotech companies to discuss state-of-the-art findings and developments in cancer research, as well as the application of therapeutic strategies to explore further stages.

In this conference, the following sessions will be held:

Session 1. Cancer Stem Cells.
Session 2. Tumor Heterogeneity.
Session 3. Drug Resistance and Anti-cancer Drug Development and Screening.
Session 4. Cancer Survivorship and Quality of Life.
Session 5. Meta-analyses and Clinical Trials.
Session 6. Causes, Diagnosis and Treatment of Cancer.
Session 7. Patterns and Treatment Considerations of Childhood Cancer.
Session 8. Novel Methods and Technologies for Research and Treatment.

It is a must-attend conference for anyone interested in these subthemes.

We invite you to participate in this dynamic and interdisciplinary online forum by submitting abstracts for short talks related to the subthemes. IECC 2026 will provide you with a stimulating environment where you can present your research, engage in insightful discussions, and connect with fellow experts.

We look forward to welcoming you to IECC 2026.
