The Premier Annual International Meeting on Cancer Prevention Research
The future of cancer prevention relies heavily on new molecular technologies
that will help identify promising new targets for drug development and
surrogate endpoints of drug activity; develop molecular risk models
for identifying high-risk cohorts; develop preclinical drug-testing
models, such as gene targeting/knockout models; and tailor prevention
strategies based on genetic status. This multidisciplinary conference
will link the biology of the cancer process with its clinical prevention
and reversal in preinvasive stages. It will foster translational research
and strengthen the vitally important partnership between basic, clinical,
and behavioral cancer prevention researchers and leaders of survivor
advocacy organizations. Clearly, the ensuing relationships will bring
new agents and therapies more rapidly to the clinic, agents that can
effectively prevent or delay the development of life-threatening cancers.
This scientifically robust meeting will encompass all the sciences pertaining
to cancer prevention, as well as a discussion of the public policy issues
important to the field.
