The Medical Research Institute (MRI), University of Alexandria is announcing the 18^th Annual “6^th International" Conference on 23^rd-26^th, September 2013, in Alexandria, Egypt. On behalf of the Organizing Committee, I am proud to invite you to join us in this unique scientific and cultural experience. The conference will provide a platform to share the latest scientific updates, current developments, future trends, and multidisciplinary effort in cancer management.

    Cancer is a multifaceted disease that requires multiple approaches in diagnosis and management.  This conference emphasizes the importance of a collaborative multidisciplinary approach to cancer patient management that involves surgical, radiological, and medical oncologists, as well as other health care professionals, working together as a cohesive team; to provide the best possible diagnosis, treatment and follow-up plan for the patient. It aims to illustrate the fundamental issues concerning cancer epidemiology, etiology, molecular bases, and management and to highlight on the latest innovative techniques, recent advances and trends in pain management of cancer patients. It will address the recent and future challenges and directions in management for cases of breast, hematological, hepatic and GIT cancers. The scientific and organizing committees of the MRI are joining their efforts to make this conference an event to remember

    The venue of this conference is Alexandria “Pearl of the Mediterranean”, Egypt’s prime gate throughout history that prevailed for a long time as the world’s greatest repository of knowledge and exporter of culture. Alexandria has an atmosphere that is more Mediterranean than Middle Eastern; its ambience and culture heritage distance it from the rest of the country.

Your active participation will add much to the value of this international conference. It is a pleasure to welcome you and we look forward to seeing you in our beloved Alexandria.
