We are so happy that you are here and that we can together continue the great tradition of conferences which started The aims of ANRA are to understand the pathogenesis of neuroblastoma and to improve the diagnosis and treatment 1975 with less than 20 people in Philadelphia. In the past the meetings have been very influential as well for the practical of patients with neuroblastoma, through the advancement and integration of laboratory and clinical research. This medical care of the patients as for the biological concepts of the origin and the course of the disease. results in the ultimate goal of cure for more children with neuroblastoma. ANR brings together people dedicated to the aims of ANRA from throughout the world and facilitates international interaction. The broad spectrum and the high quality of the submitted abstracts promise exciting presentations and discussions. More than 450 submissions were accepted by the reviewers for the scientific program. This year the main themes focus I want to congratulate Professor Frank Berthold and the Local Organising Committee for their enthusiasm, efficiency, on the genomic and transcriptomic aberrations, the preclinically tested therapeutic agents and clinical trials. hard work and vision in organising of ANR 2014. An educational workshop on the pre-conference day May 13th, 2014 will summarize the current knowledge of the I am very confident that ANR 2014 will be a landmark. A large number of proffered abstracts which highlight advances biology and the state of the art in the clinical. This is a perfect opportunity for an update, in particular for physicians to in the field will be presented at plenary, parallel or posters sessions. become more familiar with the experimental points of view and for experimental researchers to learn the most burning medical needs. We are very fortunate in having outstanding keynote lecturers and the organisers of the workshops have brought together investigators at the cutting edge of their field. On Tuesday there is an Educational Session which gives an over- The three workshops will cover hot topics of current experimental cancer research from a broader perspective but with view of the current state of the art for neuroblastoma. potential application to neuroblastoma. We are happy that top scientists agreed to discuss their cutting edge science with us. The Steering Committee and Regional Advisory Boards of ANRA have worked with the Local Organising Committee in For the first time, a consortium of neuroblastoma research funding organisations from all-over the world meet and suggesting the format of the meeting, topics and speakers.
