The Organizing Committee is already working enthusiastically on the development of an outstanding and innovative scientific agenda that encompasses all aspects of melanoma and skin cancers -from epidemiology, diagnosis and prevention to the results of the most recent therapeutic trials in advanced tumours. The programme will combine research and new clinical data in the plenary sessions; keynote lectures and symposia together with breakout sessions for the discussion of crucial aspects of the organisation of skin cancer/melanoma centres, access of patients to specific drugs, collaboration with Patients Associations and experiences in different health scenarios in all regions of the world. The meeting will ensure an extraordinary education and networking experience in the field of Dermato-Oncology.
