​Event is opportunity for researchers across disciplines to engage in, learn about, and discuss the latest concepts.

The American Cancer Society, the National Cancer Institute, and Cancer Research UK announced that they hosted their first annual conference on cancer prevention research, June 25 – 27, in Boston, MA. The event brings together scientists from discovery biology through translational and behavioral science to population and implementation research to create a thriving multidisciplinary cancer prevention research community. The goal is to help create a “new look” for cancer prevention in the research community, and to showcase research to better understand cancer aetiology, risk factors, intervention development and implementation, and health inequalities in cancer prevention.

“This is an exciting opportunity for researchers across disciplines to engage in, learn about, and discuss the latest concepts in cancer prevention research,” said Dr. William Dahut, chief scientific officer at ACS. “The conference will be built on a philosophy of using advances in mechanistic understanding to inform more effective ways of preventing cancer.”
