Background
Danish Cancer Research Days 2021 is the largest Danish cancer conference, which brings together researchers, clinicians, patients, and policy makers. We will again this year invite selected submitters to present their research on stage. Danish Comprehensive Cancer Center (DCCC) and the Danish Multidisciplinary Cancer Groups (DMCG.dk) hope to see you at the 3rd Danish Cancer Research Days.

Invitation to present research findings
During the conference, we would like to present current research covering the entire Danish cancer field. We invite all those interested to submit abstracts on research projects, clinical trials or other research activities related to cancer.

Abstracts will be evaluated on the basis of cancer relevance as well as on the outcomes, quality, and generalisability of the research. In addition, the perspectives of the project; how newsworthy the study is and the extent of the national embedding will be taken into consideration. Abstracts on ongoing projects and clinical protocols are also welcome.

Poster presentation
This year the poster session will be virtual and accepted posters will be accessible online only for registered participants from mid-August to mid-September. Submitters of accepted abstract will be required to send in their poster in pdf-format, possibly including a video presentation. More information to follow.

Presentation on stage
Seven abstract submitters will be given the opportunity to present their research on stage in the session 'Aktuel dansk kræftforskning i rampelyset'/'Current Danish cancer research in the spotlight'. After submission deadline, seven presenters will be selected; information about this process will be sent directly to the selected presenters.
