NOTE:
6th International Conference On Ultraviolet Radiation and Skin Cancer Prevention
SEPTEMBER 11 - 13, 2024

Global Advances and Controversies in Skin Cancer
SEPTEMBER 13 - 15, 2024

Description:
The 6th International Conference on Ultraviolet Radiation and Skin Cancer Prevention will focus on research, policy, and practice to prevent skin cancers. The Global Advances and Controversies in Skin Cancer will present new discoveries from basic science, through to diagnosis and clinical management of skin cancers. Choose to attend one of the conferences as a stand alone, or register for both at a discounted rate, the choice is yours.

Skin cancer rates continue to rise in many nations, resulting in very high health system and personal costs, yet these cancers are almost entirely preventable. The 6th International Conference on Ultraviolet Radiation and Skin Cancer Prevention will convene in Queensland, Australia, which holds the unenviable title of the “skin cancer capital of the world”. As such, our community is highly attuned to the hazards of sunlight, and we warmly invite everyone who can contribute to skin cancer prevention from a research, practice or policy perspective to take part in this vibrant forum, staged in the heart of Brisbane. The conference will also include patients, health consumers, and industry representatives. Here, you will hear the latest research findings from global experts and invited keynote speakers, you will exchange vital information on what works to prevent skin cancer (and what does not), and you will experience the newest technologies designed to help protect susceptible populations from the harms of ultraviolet radiation. Free papers from conference participants are strongly encouraged, and will promote the work of the next generation of researchers and practitioners in skin cancer prevention. This meeting is the ‘must-attend’ skin cancer prevention meeting for 2024.

Keratinocyte cancers are exceedingly common and exact an enormous toll in susceptible populations around the world. The burden on health systems from diagnosing and treating these cancers is growing. Fortunately, we live in an exciting era with many new discoveries. New information about genetic determinants of risk, molecular drivers of tumour development and metastasis, and the immunobiology of tumours and precancerous lesions is reshaping the way skin cancer patients can be managed. New diagnostic and staging technologies offer greater precision to optimise patient care, and new therapeutic options abound. At the Global Advances and Controversies in Skin Cancer 2024, convening in Brisbane, Australia, a world class Invited Faculty will showcase the latest developments in detection, diagnosis, staging and treatment of keratinocyte cancers and other cancers of the skin. Topics will encompass epidemiology, genetics, clinical and pathological diagnosis, chemoprevention, surgery, and radiation and systemic therapies. Panel discussions and case-studies will encourage audience input, and current controversies in patient care will be debated in a collegial atmosphere. Free papers from conference participants are strongly encouraged, and will promote the work of the next generation of clinicians, scientists, nurses, and policy-makers.

GAC-SC 2024 promises to be a vibrant and exciting forum at the heart of Brisbane’s enchanting South-Bank precinct where social events will enhance the global network of colleagues interested in skin cancer. We look forward to seeing you among us in Sept 2024.
