Interested participants are invited to submit abstracts on topics related to hereditary breast, ovarian, prostate and pancreatic cancer.
Submissions are welcome from all disciplines. Specific topic categories are listed below. Abstracts may be in English or French and must not exceed 300 words.
Abstracts may be submitted for Oral or Poster presentation.
All abstracts received by the submission deadline will be reviewed. Should a submission for oral presentation not be accepted as an oral, it will then automatically be considered for poster presentation.
Oral: An oral presentation describing a project or activity that falls within one of the topics listed below. Proffered paper oral presentations are limited to 10 minutes and presenters will participate with the invited faculty in a Question and discussion period at the end of the Session.
Poster: A visual presentation describing a project or activity. Posters must be designed to fit the predetermined guidelines. As much as possible, authors are expected to be present with their poster during breaks to answer questions from participants. No audiovisual support is provided for poster presentations.
