The Comprehensive Cancer Research Training Program is an annual immersive course that invites trainees to participate in a unique, comprehensive introduction to the vanguard of current cancer research. 

This ambitious curriculum features daily plenary sessions on general topics followed by half-day sessions on two scientific themes, each featuring three to four presentations. Numerous nationally and internationally renowned Stanford faculty present didactic lectures and discussions on current topics of basic, translational and clinical cancer research.

The Stanford Cancer Institute invites high school, undergraduate, graduate, post-doctoral students (residents, clinical fellows, research fellows), and junior faculty members to attend CCRTP. In particular, trainees from the School of Medicine, School of Engineering, and the School of Humanities and Sciences are encouraged to participate.
