2 O ver Dear Friends and Colleagues the years, the field of oncology has undergone an enormous expansion in clinical and basic data as well as in field-related technology. New treatment possibilities and advances are being explored in different directions for breast, lung, colon and melanoma cancer. The International Congress on Controversies in Personalized Oncology (CONPO) is intended as an exclusive forum for international experts to share and compare experiences, in order to outline the potentially best treatments for patients within these controversial areas There is little available in the peer-reviewed literature on controversies in personalized oncology, so there is a perceived need to enable an effective debate about unresolved issues, often resulting in agreed-upon answers supported by evidence-based medicine and expert opinion. Participants will have the advantage to discuss and debate these unresolved issues with leading world experts in all fields of oncology. The Congress aims to reach the best answers currently possible and provide the clinician with reliable, up-to-date scientific solutions, based on the best existing evidence. We invite you to take part in The International Congress on Controversies in Personalized Oncology (CONPO), which is intended as the inaugural event of many future editions. We look forward to an exciting event in the beautiful city of Barcelona. Dr. David Sidransky Dr. Lior Soussan-Gutman CONPO co-chairpersons 23
