We are pleased to welcome you to Marseille for the fourth Annual Brain Metastases Research and Emerging Therapy Conference.

Last year's successful edition encouraged us to once again organize this conference.

This year, the EORTC Brain Metastasis platform has also invited the RTOG BM task force and the EANS tumor section board to foster international collaboration in the field.

This EORTC initiative brings the multidisciplinary approach needed to develop brain metastases projects across several tumor types and disciplines such as breast cancer, lung cancer, melanoma, imaging, pathobiology and radiation oncology. It is expected that this cross-sectional platform will stimulate innovative and insightful research in a collaborative environment and improve the standard of care and methodology of clinical research.

Highlighted topics will cover new model of Academia-Industry partnership and biobanking strategies in BM to enhance personalized medicine strategies in this growing area of interest within the domain of oncology.

Together, the EORTC, Canceropole PACA, GRPCMac, RTOG BM task force and EANS have decided to jointly organize the "Annual Brain Metastases Research and Emerging Therapy Conference" which will be held under the auspice of the EORTC. The organizing committee hopes that this meeting will provide an exceptional opportunity for you to share your collective expertise ranging from basic science to new treatments in order to facilitate ongoing studies and lay the foundation for future collaborative projects.
