Rationale
The International Congress on Cancer Research: From Molecular Insights to Clinical Applications (ICCR’25) aims to foster collaboration and knowledge sharing among researchers, clinicians, and healthcare professionals in oncology. As cancer remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, understanding its complex biology is essential for developing effective prevention and treatment strategies. This meeting will delve into key innovations in cancer prevention, early detection, and treatment. It will highlight the chemo-preventive effects of bioactive compounds, which are emerging as vital tools in reducing cancer risk. Additionally, the epidemiology of cancer in Morocco will be explored, offering insights into the specific challenges and trends within the region. The integration of computational biology and artificial intelligence in cancer research will also be a central theme, demonstrating how these advanced technologies can enhance our understanding of cancer biology and improve diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. This congress promises to cultivate collaboration and facilitate the exchange of knowledge among specialists committed to advance cancer research and patient care.
