It is a great pleasure to announce that the 22nd Biennial EACR Congress will be held in Barcelona 7 -10 July 2012.

I am delighted that the Congress is actively supported by the Spanish Association for Cancer Research (ASEICA) and to be holding the Congress in one of Europe’s most vibrant cities, a city with a remarkable reputation for cancer research and cancer care.

EACR-22 will provide a forum for discussion between scientists working in all fields of cancer research. It will focus on the latest developments in basic and discovery driven translational research, through to personalised cancer treatment.
