The VU University Medical Center (VUmc) Cancer Center Amsterdam (CCA), one of Europe's leading cancer institutes, has established the VUmc CCA Translational Oncology Symposium series as a forum for in-depth discussion of clinical and translational cancer research themes shared by the VUmc CCA and other leading cancer institutes.

Themes addressed in the various sessions include: * RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN CERVICAL CANCER * RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN PEDIATRIC CANCER * MOLECULAR IMAGING * NEW DEVELOPMENTS IN RADIOTHERAPY * GENETIC PROFILING IN THERAPEUTIC MANAGEMENT A special symposium of high educational value for practicing oncologists will address: * NEW DRUGS AND TREATMENT STRATEGIES IN H&N, BREAST, COLORECTAL, PROSTATE, RENAL CANCER, AND LEUKEMIA The program will also feature the Award Lecture by the recipient of the Bob Pinedo Cancer Care Prize 2008.
