Invitation
Dear ILCA members, colleagues and friends,
It is our great pleasure to invite you to attend the 14th Annual Conference of the International Liver Cancer Association (ILCA) from 10 to 13 September 2020 in Madrid, Spain.
Our community will gather in the beautiful historic city of Madrid for four days of sharing knowledge, of scientific learning and intensive networking around the latest advances in liver cancer research, basic translational and clinical research.
ILCA continues to develop new programmes and initiatives and will again bring together the most eminent liver cancer experts from around the globe with the goal of improving prevention, diagnosis, treatment and care of patients.
The programme that the Governing Board has put together will provide you with an outstanding educational experience. We have developed a range of new session formats with exciting content to encourage knowledge sharing and networking between physicians, researchers, young investigators and partners from all over the world. This year we increase the visibility of the Young Investigator session that will run in prime time on Friday, 11th September.
We strongly encourage all, and especially young researchers and students, to be a part of the debate and contribute to the scientific programme by presenting their work. Accepted abstracts will be presented in General Sessions or as posters. All posters will be displayed on paper and electronically as this year we will feature two poster sessions, increasing visibility and networking opportunities among participants.
We look forward to meeting you next September in Madrid and to welcoming you all personally as we work together to advance liver cancer science and care to offer true hope to patients.
Warm regards,
The ILCA Governing Board
Executive Committee
Council
