Stem cell research is one of the fascinating areas of contemporary biology, but, as with many expanding fields of scientific inquiry, research on stem cells raises scientific questions as  rapidly as it generates discoveries. Research on stem cell treatment continues to advance  knowledge about how an organism develops from a single cell and how healthy cells replace  damaged cells in adult organisms. The most important potential application of human stem  cells is the generation of cells and tissues that could be used for cell-based therapies, especially  oncology.  The Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Sumatera Utara, collaborated with the center of  excellence and innovation (Pusat Unggulan Inovasi /PUI). The Stem Cell center of the  Universitas Sumatera Utara (USU) organized an International Conference. The International  Stem Cell and Oncology Conference (ISCOC) 2017 was an comprehensive academic  conference in the field of stem cell and oncology research and also tropical medicine and  related scientific topics.  We expect this conference will benefit academics and practitioners in the field of health  sciences in Indonesia. During the two day conference, researchers presented the most recent  discoveries in stem cell and oncology and also general medical topics, and served as well in  establishing networking for joint researchers and collaboration among participants.  The editors and the scientific committee would like to thank the participants and express  their gratitude to Faculty of Medicine of the Universitas Sumatera Utara for their support  to ISCOC 2017. Lastly, we are most indebted for the generous support given by Universitas  Sumatera Utara, Medan, Sumatera Utara, Indonesia.
