AACR Special Conference: Precision Prevention, Early Detection, and Interception of Cancer 2022

AACR Special Conference: Precision Prevention, Early Detection, and Interception of Cancer is organized by American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) and will be held from Jan 21 - 23, 2022 at Hyatt Regency Austin, Austin, Texas, United States of America.

Overview:
Prevention and early detection strategies have great potential to reduce the population burden of cancer. It has been estimated that 50-60% of cancers could be prevented if known strategies were optimally employed. This AACR Special Conference on Precision Prevention, Early Detection, and Interception of Cancer will raise the visibility of advances in the field of prevention and early detection that incorporate biological and mechanistic advances to inspire thinking about new approaches to cancer prevention. The conference will provide a forum for critically reviewing the evidence of the role of biological mechanisms in the cause and progression of cancer, highlighting knowledge of preneoplastic lesions, and new conceptual and technological advances in the field, and outlining the steps required to implement preventive and early detection measures. The program will not only bring together researchers and clinicians from diverse backgrounds to enhance cross-communication but will also spotlight talks from submitted abstracts to highlight the advancements and diversity of the cancer prevention and early detection research field.

Objectives:
After participating in this CME activity, physicians should be able to:
• Asses therapeutic strategies that combine genomic research with precision medicine to improve risk assessment, and early detection of cancer.
• Provide the audience up to date knowledge on recent advances about the mechanistic development of human cancer.
• Evaluate how technology can be used to create a “precision” prevention approach to cancer prevention and early detection.
• Identify crucial problems to be addressed for additional progress to occur in this field.
• Provide a forum for interactions among researchers from the diverse backgrounds represented.
• Demonstrate how to apply the increasing knowledge through implementation and policy to prevent cancer mortality.

Note: On-demand registration will provide access to the virtual meeting platform approximately 7-10 days after the meeting. On-demand registration will provide access to all lecture sessions (synchronized slides and audio), short video presentations of posters, the final program schedules, abstracts, awardees, supporters, and related meeting information. On-demand viewing will remain available until March 31 (70 days after last day of meeting).
