This new meeting (International Conference on Sarcoma Biology) will interface with the Milan translational sarcoma meeting, in that the Milan meeting organizers will provide feedback on the proposed programs, and they will participate (as attendees) in the sarcoma biology meeting. The aim of the International Conference on Sarcoma Biology is to complement, rather than overlap with, the Milan translational sarcoma research meeting, by discussing key topics in sarcoma and mesenchymal biology.
