The purpose of the Anticancer Research Conferences is to exchange scientific information worldwide and to discuss recent advances in both broad and specialized areas of experimental and clinical cancer research. International Scientific and Medical Societies were invited to participate in the Conference by organizing specialized sessions. This initiative presented a forum for inter-Society communication allowing the organization and coordination of international activities on cancer. Special sessions have been devoted to the discussion and arrangement of international cooperation projects and activities, encompassing the aims of the International Institute of Anticancer Research. The Conference was organized and supported by the International Institute of Anticancer Research. The Scientific Program comprised of oral (10, 15, 30 or 40 minutes) and poster presentations. Both overviews and original works have been presented. Each oral presentation was allocated a five-minute discussion-time. Six conference rooms were used simultaneously. Posters were exhibited for 1-2 days.

In Iceland a rare founder mutation has been detected in BRCA1, and a frequent one in BRCA2. An extensive analysis on somatic changes and gene expression in tumours of the BRCA2 999del5 founder-mutation carriers has been made. Population-based studies have been performed on a large number of available carriers, regarding penetrance, cancer risk, phenotype, clinicopathology, genetic modifiers and influence from the environment.
