The brand image symbolically shows the effectiveness of penicillin V and the multi-headed hydra of cancers. The 13th International Congress of Chemotherapy took place in Vienna from 28th August to 2nd September 1983. The Austrian Society for Chemotherapy was entrusted with the implementation. The 1st International Symposium on Chemotherapy took place in September 1959. At the 2nd Symposium in Naples the foundation of the "International Society of Chemotherapy" was decided. Their statutes describe a comprehensive work area, such as: B. Promoting the development of chemotherapy by holding international congresses, conferences and symposia or promoting the establishment of national, regional or local societies involved in basic and clinical research. This organization promotes all important developments in the field of chemotherapy all over the world. For Austria, the congressional year 1983 was a double anniversary. On the one hand, oral penicillin was developed in Austria exactly 30 years ago, on the other hand, the Austrian Cancer Research Institute had started its work in Vienna.
