The conference took place 15 min from downtown Tokyo and talks covered a range of topics in prostate, breast and ovarian cancer. There were approximately 160 attendees from across Southeast Asia and Australia, as well as Europe and North America. Numerous high-quality posters were presented and the best abstracts were selected for short talks alongside the 20 talks from invited speakers. In this short report of the meeting, we aim to highlight some, but not all, of these talks and therefore we apologize to those that were not included in the interests of space and brevity.
