The International Scientific Committee and the organizers of St.Gallen Oncology Conferences – together with ISCaP (International Society of Cancer Prevention) and several International and European Societies – welcomed more than 150 participants to the 6th International Conference on «Clinical Cancer Prevention St.Gallen/Switzerland». Paying tribute to the scientific and clinical evolutions in the field, this conference addressed interventional chemoprevention of breast and prostate cancers, with an international expert consensus panel on the potential of chemoprevention of breast cancer.

The conference was taking place in the newly built Einstein Congress Hotel center in St.Gallen, historic, cultural and medical center of Eastern Switzerland.

Major societies, institutions and international top experts in the field of molecular biology and genetics, epidemiology, clinical cancer prevention, health economics and politics were invited to present and discuss their relevant research findings and also controversies, and to develop more clinically useful cancer prevention strategies for the near future.
