  • I acknowledge adherence to the rules and scientific validity of the presentation.

  • I acknowledge that this work has not previously been published prior to submission of the abstract.
  • I acknowledge that if I fail to pay the registration fee by the deadlines stated my abstract may be removed from the printed abstract book.
  • I acknowledge the contents of my abstract cannot be perceived as marketing a specific product.

Content and Formatting

General Preparation:

  • All abstracts must be submitted electronically.
  • All abstract should be made using the template.
  • Abstracts must be written clearly in English.
  • The standard Times New Roman font for text is recommended (10 or 12 point).
  • Set all text as flush left, and unjustified. Do not indent paragraphs and do not skip lines between paragraphs. Use single line spacing only.
  • Use the Symbol font for special characters (Greek, scientific, mathematical, etc.). Do not use a third-party symbol font (e.g., Adobe Type Manager), since they may not convert properly.
  • The abstract title and text combined should not exceed 300 words. Most word processing programs have built-in word count utilities.
  • The abstract must be relevant to the topics presented at the congress. Abstracts considered inappropriate will be rejected.
  • Please proof-read the abstract carefully.

Title:

  • Capitalize only the first letter of each word except prepositions, articles, and species names.
  • Make the title concise but informative.
  • Do not use Bold in the title.
  • Do not use all UPPERCASE characters.

Authors & Affiliations:

  • The person presenting the poster or lecture should be the first author on the abstract.
  • It is the responsibility of the presenting author to contact all co-authors to ensure the accuracy of the data presented in the abstract.
  • The presenting author's name should be underlined.
  • All abstract related correspondence is done via e-mail, so an incorrect e-mail address will cause delay or possible rejection of the submission.

Abstract text:

  • Abbreviations should be spelled out in full at their first mention, followed by the abbreviation in parentheses. Exceptions: DNA, RNA, etc.
  • Each abstract (plenary lectures excepted) should contain the subheadings: Aims, Methods, Results and Conclusions.
  • Do not include references, tables, graphics, or charts.
  • It is not satisfactory to say, "the results will be discussed."

 

Publication

Accepted abstracts will be published in the congress Abstract Book and the Society’s Journal of Tumor Biology. Abstracts will not be copy-edited, so any error that appears in the submitted abstract will appear in the printed abstract.
It is the responsibility of the presenting author to ensure their abstract submission meets these requirements. Failure to meet any of these requirements may result in the rejection of your abstract and/or not being published in the journal.
