SAKK Translational Urogenital Cancer Network Meeting, scheduled for March 11 & 12, 2021 will be postponed. New Date: September 09 & 10, 2021, at 25h Hotel Zürich Langstrasse.

The development of innovative therapeutic avenues in oncology is a complex multi-disciplinary process. The clinical and basic aspects of tumor biology have to be integrated in an early phase to enable the best possible outcome.

The creation of a translational network, including basic/translational and clinical researcher may create awareness of clinical needs among the implementation process of new ideas developed in the laboratory. Conversely, clinical researchers may learn about opportunities to develop new ideas beyond standard daily practice.

Importantly, young investigators both in clinical and in translational research, are the key audience for this meeting. A collaboration between institutions and researchers will be facilitated and supported.

Costs:

participation including hotel: CHF 239.-

participation without hotel: CHF 160.-
