Hello everyone.

As we reach the conclusion of the 5th International Electronic Conference on Cancers (IECC 2026), I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to all of you.

Over the past three days, we have shared about 60 outstanding presentations across our sessions, including inspiring Keynote and Invited Lectures, Oral Talks, and Posters. Although our conference was held online, the dynamic discussions and interdisciplinary exchanges have been truly stimulating.

I would like to thank all the presenters for sharing their state-of-the-art findings, and the participants for their active involvement through comments and ratings. As mentioned, the papers evaluated as excellent will be reviewed, and the award winners will be announced soon. The announcement will be sent to the selected authors directly by email. Please stay tuned for the updates.

Now, I have an important request for all presenters regarding our conference publication. For the invitation to contribute to the Conference's Special Issue scheduled in Cancers, please make sure to submit your final manuscripts by 30 June 2027. Your timely submission is highly appreciated to ensure a smooth editorial process.

Finally, my deepest thanks go to the session chairs, committee members, the conference secretariat, MDPI, Cancers, and our generous sponsors and partners. Without your dedication, this conference would not have been such a great success.
Thank you very much, and I hope to see you all again at the next edition.

Sincerely,
Prof. Dr. Masaharu Seno
Laboratory of Cancer Stem Cell Engineering, Okayama University, Okayama, Japan
