The International Education Initiative on Molecular Targeted Therapy of Cancer (MTTC) was initiated in 2001 with the aim of developing content for high quality medical education for oncologists. Based on the presentations of the first International Workshop on MTTC in Paris in 2002, an educational core curriculum has been developed, directed by the members of the International Education Council. This 9th Latin American Workshop on MTTC is an activity within the International Medical Educational Initiative on MTTC in Latin America, which began with the 1st Latin American Workshop on MTTC in Bariloche, Argentina (2003) and was followed by further workshops in Cancun, Mexico (2004), Trancoso, Brazil (2005), Pucón, Chile (2006), Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (2007), Buenos Aires, Argentina (2008), Quito, Ecuador (2009) and Lima, Peru (2010). A distinguished group of Latin American oncology experts from different disciplines gave educational presentations on the basic mode of action and clinical application of various targeted therapies in Chile during November 4th and 5th, 2011 at the Crowne Plaza Hotel. Once again, MundoChile and its team of professionals had the opportunity to provide its simultaneous interpretation services in the languages of English, Portuguese and Spanish, contributing to the success of this important event in the medical industry.
