To accelerate cancer research and treatment in Japan, we invite more than 10 world-class experts and opinion leaders in the oncology field to Japan to address the International Academy for Advanced Oncology (IAAO). We provide an opportunity to share cutting-edge information and discussions with leading basic and clinical researchers, and support the construction of a global human network.
Dr. Chabner, IAAO 2023
IAAO has been held by invitation only annually since 2010 by the former Chugai Academy for Advanced Oncology (CHAAO), which changed its name in 2022 to the Chugai Foundation for Innovative Drug Discovery Science (C-FINDs). IAAO provides innovative cancer research information under the guidance of the advisory board consisting of Japanese and global experts under the leadership of Dr. Bruce Chabner, a global authority on cancer research.
IAAO 2024 was held in a completely on-site format at Toranomon Hills Forum. Fifteen speakers from Japan and abroad gave their exciting presentations. All invited participants were able to listen to the lectures and discuss in person.
The main theme of IAAO 2024 was "Innovative Initiatives for Challenging Treatments". In addition to the sessions on New Insights in Anti-Tumor Immunotherapy, Novel Treatment Strategies in Brain Tumor, Innovative Research in Microbiome, and Leverage of Real World Data in EU, US and Japan, we incorporated Breakthrough Technology sessions which includes Protein Degrader, Precision Diagnosis, and Efficacy Prediction.
