Hinterzarten Circle on Cancer Research

The Hinterzarten Circle on Cancer Research is a roundtable which serves as a regular discussion forum and has the status of a Senate commission. Membership consists of medical and biological scientists working in the field of cancer research.

The annual meeting discusses new findings in the field of cancer-related basic research and the diagnosis and therapy of malignant tumours. This annual roundtable, held in relative seclusion, aims to encourage intensive discussion between scientists from various disciplines engaged in basic research and those conducting clinical research. As a matter of tradition, the discussions of the Hinterzarten Circle are not publicised.
