Mission: To foster the rapid dissemination of new research information to scientists, clinicians and the public and to provide support for young scientists working in basic cancer research.
Programs: The mission of the organization is achieved through sponsoring meetings with mini-symposia that provide a forum for scientists to share the latest information on specific topics of current interest to cancer researchers. In 2011, the organization organized a symposium that brought together hundreds of life science professionals and students from around the world to discuss the origins of cancer. The symposium is unique in that it spans the breadth of cancer research and the diversity of the disease's origins, including viral, infectious, environmental and genetic causes.
