  many cancers. During the last 20 years\, work in many laboratories has le
 d to the identification and understanding of many of the key players invol
 ved in apoptosis. This conference will highlight recent developments in ou
 r current understanding of the cellular role of some of these proteins as 
 well as how our knowledge of the basic cellular apoptotic pathways is bein
 g used to develop targeted cancer chemotherapeutic agents. Particular atte
 ntion will be paid to novel agents that are currently in development or ea
 rly clinical trials to exploit our understanding of the Bcl-2 family\, the
  p53 family\, death receptors and inhibitor of apoptosis proteins (IAPs).
