The Forum will focus on the ten most prevalent cancers in Asia-Pacific and will examine aspects of prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and palliation. In addition, world opinion-leaders will discuss cancer aetiology, health-care systems, and the challenges of providing effective disease management with limited resources, along with views on state-of-the-art techniques in the areas of diagnostics, medical oncology, radiation therapy, and surgical oncology.
