The theme of IACCS 2023, "Precision cancer Screening with AI Perspectives," reflects our dedication to harnessing cutting-edge technology to enhance the accuracy, accessibility, and effectiveness of cancer screening programs. We are delighted to invite clinicians, epidemiologists, public health workers, and researchers from around the world who share our passion for pushing the boundaries of cancer screening methodologies.

Over the course of these two enlightening days, you can anticipate engaging keynote presentations, informative panel discussions, and interactive workshops that will delve into the integration of AI technologies in cancer screening workflows. From machine learning algorithms aiding in early detection to AI-driven risk assessment models, our lineup of distinguished speakers will unveil groundbreaking advancements that promise to reshape the landscape of cancer screening.

In addition to the scientific discourse, the IACCS meeting also provides an invaluable platform for networking and collaboration. It is an opportunity to forge new connections, exchange ideas, and foster interdisciplinary partnerships that will drive forward the collective mission of eradicating cancer.

Tokyo, a city that effortlessly combines tradition and innovation, will serve as a fitting backdrop for this groundbreaking event. As you immerse yourselves in the discussions, I encourage you to take advantage of the cultural richness this city has to offer.
