I read the article but didn’t see any mention of the name of the conference - did anyone else catch that? Typically a speaker submits a copy of his/her peer reviewed paper to a conference before even getting invited to attend. What paper was being presented?

I can't find details about the Conference, but this news report does confirm they were cancer specialists, going to address a conference on that topic.

Risso and at least one colleague were headed for an oncology conference to sharpen their knowledge about a disease that kills tens of thousands of Brazilians every year.
