This year latest findings in melanoma research and advances on themes of paramount importance for melanoma prevention, diagnosis and treatment will be discussed in the sessions dedicated to the translational research in melanoma, tumor biology, melanoma brain metastases and emergent strategies on the progresses of melanoma research on biomarkers/precision medicine and on combination strategies.
Then, the Great Debate sessions, where counterpoint views from leading experts on specific and very actual controversial clinical issues will be presented and discussed from different points of view.
