DESCRIPTION:Cancer susceptibility of individuals of different sex is signi
 ficantly different in many cancer types and across ethnic backgrounds. The
  role of hormonal and genetic  differences in in cancer susceptibility 
 and response to treatment is still poorly understood. To meet this challen
 ge\, there is an urgent need to foster interdisciplinary cross-communicati
 on efforts and train the next generation of researchers in basic and trans
 lational cancer prevention.\n\nThis Innovative Training Network (2019-2023
 ) aimed to establish an interdisciplinary PhD program in cancer prevention
  focused on two key determinants of cancer risk: \n\n	sex hormone signali
 ng and\n	chronic inflammation\n\nResearchers from the network have worked
  effortlessly the last few years to achieve these goals. They uncovered ho
 w exogenous factors and genetic influences affect cancer susceptibility\, 
 assessed novel chemoprevention approaches by using chemically-developed ho
 rmone and inflammation inhibitors\, and conducted mechanistic studies to e
 xploit innovative preclinical models developed by the participating labs.\
 n\nNow that the network is coming to an end\, we will celebrate its compl
 etion with a two-day symposium entitled “Perspectives in cancer preven
 tion: A look into the future”. It will bring together and foster communi
 cation between young researchers and world experts from various discipline
 s\, such as epidemiology\, genetics and epigenetics\, cellular and molecul
 ar biology\, and pharmacology.  As an integral part of the meeting\, we e
 ncourage participation from members of the private industry sector\, who c
 an provide unique insights into translational applications and possible fu
 ture developments. \n \n\nMeeting format\nThe meeting takes place in the
  AGORA Cancer Research Center\, Lausanne Switzerland. It will be held o
 ver two full days\, Monday February 5th and Tuesday February 6th\, 2024.\n
 \nGeneral meeting sessions \nLonger talks by invited speakers (40 minutes
 ) are followed by or intermingled with pre-registered shorter talks (15 mi
 nutes) by participants\, selected from submitted abstracts. \n\nClick her
