American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) / American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Workshop on Methods in Clinical Cancer Research 2016

American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) / American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Workshop on Methods in Clinical Cancer Research 2016 is organized by American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) and American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) and would be held during Jul 23 - 29, 2016 at Vail Mountain Marriott Resort and Spa, Vail, Colorado, United States of America. The target audience for this medical event are clinical fellows, junior faculty and clinical researchers in all oncology sub-specialties, including radiation and surgical oncology and radiology.

This year the workshop will bring to you the essentials of effective clinical trial designs of therapeutic interventions in the treatment of cancer.

Goals of the workshop include:

* Introducing clinical fellows and junior faculty in any oncology sub-specialty to the principles of good clinical trial design. This Workshop will give them the tools they need to conduct clinical trials that will yield clear results and have the potential to impact patient care.

* Exposing early-career clinical scientists to the full spectrum of challenges in clinical research – from surgery, radiotherapy, conventional and investigational agents, multidisciplinary treatment regimens, multimodality and combination treatments, and the integration of biomarkers in clinical trials. Workshop faculty seek to inspire participants to devote all or a portion of their future careers to some aspect of clinical research.

* Developing a cadre of well-trained, experienced clinical researchers whose expertise will foster better clinical trial design. Such expertise will thereby hasten the introduction of improved approaches for cancer therapy and prevention into everyday medical practice and patient care.
