27th German Cancer Congress now online

The 27th German Cancer Congress will take place from March 22 to 26, 2006 in Berlin.

The number of people getting cancer has been rising for years, as has the proportion of deaths caused by it. 395,000 people now get cancer every year, and around 210,000 die of it. Fighting cancer is without doubt a mighty task, which can only be tackled through joint action. The German Cancer Society aims through this cancer congress to offer the need for joint action a platform for constructive discussion and developing joint plans. In the process, sufferers, non-sufferers and those from the ancillary medical professions will have an opportunity to air their views. The complete program is available on http://www.krebskongress2006.de.

The abstracts are published via egms online under http://www.egms.de/en/meetings/dkk2006/.
