Where we are. Where to go.

NOV 5 Congress

The Kick-Start

The First steps in research on hereditary cancer have been taken, but there is still a way to go. Our aim for this Congress is very clear: to set up the basis for creating a Portuguese / European consortium of research on hereditary cancer.

The world’s leading specialists

Some of the world’s leading specialists on this field will join us, to share their knowledge, their experiences and most of all their vision on how a network to fight hereditary cancer effectively should look like.

Let’s work together

To be successful we need to join forces: doctors, laboratories, researchers, authors, institutions and organizations. Because together we are stronger.
