AACR 100th Annual Meeting 2009
The AACR 100th Annual Meeting 2009, with the theme of "Science, Synergy, and Success," will highlight the best cancer science and medicine from institutions all over the world. The complex nature of cancer requires an interdisciplinary approach to research. We have
come upon an age when large research teams must work together to make further progress. The collaborations that naturally ensue from informal interactions at the AACR Annual Meeting create the synergies that have led to past successes in the field and will
drive research faster toward future cures. The Annual Meeting represents an opportunity to stretch your boundaries, attend sessions outside of your own areas of expertise, and learn how to apply the exciting new concepts, tools, and techniques to your own research.
This is a special time in the evolution of cancer research. The pace of discovery and its application to cancer patients are truly extraordinary now. The past 100 years of cancer research were merely a prelude to the remarkable progress to come. The AACR 100th Annual Meeting 2009 will help you keep abreast of these rapidly developing advances. We expect to showcase more than 6,500 outstanding proffered papers and hundreds of invited talks from the global community of experts in today`s cancer research, representing clear
evidence of the enormous progress that has been made over the years in the understanding, treatment, and prevention of cancer.
Register early and make your plans to participate in the stimulating dialogue that will take place this April in Denver. If you would like to be added to the Annual Meeting mailing list, please e-mail marketing@aacr.org.
AACR Mission
The mission of the AACR is to prevent and cure cancer through research, education, and communication. Through its programs and services, the AACR fosters research in cancer and related biomedical science; accelerates the dissemination of new research findings among scientists and others dedicated to the conquest of cancer; promotes science education and training; and advances the understanding of cancer etiology, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment throughout the world.
Where will the cure for cancer come from?
The answer is research. Cancer is not a single disease, but more than 200. In the U.S. and around the world, men and women in laboratories and clinics, universities, medical centers, government and industry, are working not only to overcome this affliction that claims half a million American lives each year, but also to prevent it. More than 28,000 of them are members of the American Association for Cancer Research.
How does the AACR promote cancer research?
The AACR is the authoritative source of information about advances in the causes, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of cancer. By accelerating the growth and spread of new knowledge about cancer, the AACR is on the front lines of the quest for prevention and cure.
What does the AACR do?
The AACR is the oldest and largest scientific organization in the world focused on every aspect of high-quality, innovative cancer research. Its reputation for scientific breadth and excellence attract the premier researchers in the field. The programs and services of the AACR foster the exchange of knowledge and new ideas among scientists dedicated to cancer research, provide training opportunities for the next generation of cancer researchers, and increase public understanding of cancer.
To that end, the AACR:
▶ Publishes six peer-reviewed scientific journals: Cancer Research; Clinical Cancer Research; Molecular Cancer Therapeutics; Molecular Cancer Research; Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention; and Cancer Prevention Research.
▶Publishes CR, a magazine for cancer survivors, patient advocates, their families, physicians and scientists. It provides a forum for sharing essential, evidence-based information and perspectives on progress in cancer research, survivorship, and advocacy.
▶ Convenes topical scientific conferences and an annual meeting that draws more than 17,000 participants from the cancer research community.
▶Offers workshops, fellowships and grants for early-career investigators and investigators-in-training.
▶Collaborates with cancer survivors, raises public awareness of the progress in and cause for hope in cancer research and advocates for strong federal research funding.
How did the AACR begin?
AACR was founded in 1907 by a group of 11 physicians and scientists interested in research, “to further the investigation and spread the knowledge of cancer.” Today, the AACR accelerates progress toward the prevention and cure of cancer by promoting research, education, communication and advocacy.
