SUMMARY:Wales Cancer Research Conference
DESCRIPTION:The Wales Cancer Research Conference is an opportunity for cancer researchers in Wales to convene across specialties\, institutions and research areas. With speakers from Wales and the UK\, presentations will cover the latest advances in cancer research\, and opportunities to connect with colleagues will help to stimulate future partnerships. \nAt each of the annual WCRC Wales Cancer Research Conferences\, we accept abstracts showcasing the breadth of research taking place across Wales. We have received an incredible volume of abstract submissions which highlight the diverse and comprehensive range of research being undertaken in the nation. Each abstract is submitted in alignment with one of the CReSt themes:\nTheme 1: Precision and mechanistic oncology\nTheme 2: Immuno-oncology\nTheme 3: Radiotherapy\nTheme 4: Cancer clinical trials\nTheme 5: Palliative and supportive oncology\nTheme 6: Prevention\, early detection\, primary care and health services research \nFrom 2025 onwards\, following a review process undertaken by our academic theme leads and members of the Early- and Mid- Career Network\, one abstract per theme was chosen to present an oral abstract presentation at the conference – these are listed first under the heading ‘lighting talk abstracts’\, below them are all of the other abstracts which were brought as posters to the conference\, split by CReSt theme. \nSee examples from previous years by visiting their website.
