The program will cover a wide variety of topics on strategies how to control cancer, and specifically highlights some of the latest developments for targeted prevention and control of cancer by dietary, natural or synthetic agents. The critical molecular targets for cancer prevention as well as novel and practical means for cancer management will also be discussed.

This symposium is a major step towards forgoing links with international colleagues throughout the community, and tackling the challenge and providing better strategies for cancer care. This will also provide platforms to the young scientists who will be delivering the talk and discussing their work in poster session. This symposium is a tribute to Prof. A. R. Rao who started Cancer Biology curriculum in 1970s in Indian University System, and worked in the area of Cancer Chemoprevention at JNU and emphasized the value of this strategy for cancer control.
