Abstract submissions in the scientific category will be considered for poster display and a hot topics presentation. They will be reviewed under four areas of: basic science, clinical science, clinical therapeutics, and quality of life. Just three abstracts from each of these categories will be selected for 12 oral presentations spread out over the three mornings of the WPC.
WPC 2013 Hot Topics presenters will be announced in July 2013 leading up to the Congress.
