This is the second time that this International Congress is held in Quebec City, which is celebrating its 400^th birthday in 2008. This city is a beautiful and elegant blend of French-European and North American cultures. The city has much to offer in culture, scenery, cuisine and quality of life. Careful attention has been given to the social program and activities for accompanying persons to help enjoy the highlights of Quebec City and its surroundings.

The objective of this congress is to promote scientific exchange in the field of hormonal steroids and hormones and cancer. The Congress will consist of plenary lectures, interactive poster discussions, meet-the-professor sessions and symposia that will be conducted by distinguished scientists who will share the latest discoveries in all aspects of the field. Professor Roger Guillemin, Nobel Prize Laureate in Medicine, will give the Inaugural Lecture.

We look forward to the pleasure of welcoming you at the 13^th International Congress on Hormonal Steroids and Hormones & Cancer in Quebec City in September 2008. All efforts are devoted to making this conference a most successful, memorable and rewarding event.

Sincerely yours,
