Welcome to The Scheele Symposium on Targeted Cancer Treatment in honor of the 2017 Scheele Award Laureate Professor Charles L. Sawyers.
The symposium focuses on different aspects of his research, including insights into the molecular mechanisms that cause tumor resistance to cancer drugs which have paved the way for the development of new, effective treatments. These drugs have led to increased survival for many patients. Take this opportunity to listen to internationally well-known speakers that are top of the line in the field of target directed cancer treatment.
