On Thursday, immediately after the conclusion of the RAS Symposium, there will be a special mini-symposium on RAS and Pediatric Cancers. Both symposia will include short talks based on selected abstracts. However, the poster sessions will be merged for both symposia. The poster sessions will take place on Tuesday and Wednesday.  If you'd like to be considered for a short talk, please specify which symposium you're interested in when you upload your abstract.
