The Tumour Ecosystem: from Mechanisms to Novel Therapeutics

Introduction | The Tumour Ecosystem: From Mechanisms to Novel Therapeutics | The European Association for Cancer Research


Bergamo, Italy:17 - 19 March 2026
Other EACR Conferences
Tumours are complex ecosystems, involving multiple cell types that play pivotal roles in all stages of carcinogenesis, metastatic progression and response to therapy. Designing efficient novel therapeutics cannot be achieved without understanding the dynamics of the tumour microenvironment, to achieve a comprehensive, integrated understanding of reciprocal cancer-stroma interactions, and how they are modulated by cancer treatments.
This meeting will cover the latest exciting breakthroughs on multiple aspects of the tumour microenvironment, including the intricate interactions of cancer cells with the immune system and with specific stromal cells in multiple organs. We will also highlight novel insights into tumour-host interactions including the nervous system and response to therapy.
Join us to hear from world experts who are at the forefront of the tumour microenvironment field, sharing their latest discoveries and insights about their cutting-edge research and its implications for novel cancer therapies.
