About SMR2010:

The Society for Melanoma Research (SMR2010) is the most comprehensive melanoma conference of the decade. The combination of 4 independently structured and integrated meetings has allowed the evolution of concise programs, each oriented to a specific audience, providing great opportunities for cross specialty exchange of knowledge and ideas.

The overall Congress theme is ‘Pathways to Treatment’, which encompasses the ongoing translation of our basic knowledge of the cellular pathways underlying melanoma development to the design of new molecular therapies to treat this disease. A broad interdisciplinary program highlights cutting edge developments in primary and secondary prevention of melanoma.
