Held in the exceptional setting of the <strong>Palais du Pharo<\/strong>, the event fostered three days of scientific exchange and international collaboration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first day featured keynote speeches by Professors <strong>Rene Bernards<\/strong> and <strong>Alissa Weaver<\/strong>, who opened the symposium with inspiring perspectives on cancer research. The day concluded with <strong>180-second<\/strong> scientific presentations, during which <strong>CRCM<\/strong> doctoral and postdoctoral students presented their projects to patient associations and conference participants, promoting dialogue between science and society. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second day highlighted <strong>innovative therapeutic strategies<\/strong>, particularly those involving <strong>antibody\u2013drug conjugates<\/strong>, <strong>PROTACs<\/strong>, treatment resistance mechanisms, and tumor plasticity. Nearly <strong>30 posters<\/strong> were also presented during the Poster Session, providing an ideal forum for scientific exchange, particularly for young researchers. The afternoon session explored issues related to the <strong>tumor microenvironment<\/strong> and cellular interactions that influence cancer progression.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The final day was devoted to <strong>translational research<\/strong>, with presentations covering major topics such as <strong>pediatric cancers<\/strong>,<strong> tumor immunity<\/strong>, <strong>metastatic spread<\/strong>, <strong>precision medicine<\/strong>, and <strong>innovative clinical trials<\/strong>. Discussions also highlighted advances in <strong>pancreatic cancer<\/strong> research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Among the highlights of the symposium, the <strong>poster and oral presentation awards<\/strong> recognized the work of young scientists: <strong>Julie Lafont, Zeinab Homayed, M\u00e9lissa Chapeau, and Claire Zobouyan<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The CRCM Symposium 2026 was organized with the support of the <strong>ARC Foundation for Cancer Research<\/strong>, the <strong>French Cancer Society (SFC)<\/strong>, <strong>Cancerop\u00f4le PACA<\/strong>, the <strong>League Against Cancer<\/strong>, and the <strong>City of Marseille<\/strong>, confirming the importance of scientific collaboration in advancing cancer research.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Three days of science, meetings, and innovation in oncology in
