About
The American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) is the first and largest cancer research organization dedicated to accelerating the conquest of cancer. 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.
The AACR Annual Meeting program covers the latest discoveries across the spectrum of cancer research — from population science and prevention to cancer biology, translational and clinical studies to survivorship and advocacy—and highlights the work of the best minds in research and medicine from institutions all over the world.
The AACR Annual Meeting 2022 is scheduled to take place April 8 – 13, 2022 at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans, La. The online planner displays the sessions, presentations and abstracts of the virtual AACR Annual Meeting.
