More than 20 years ago, the American Association for
Cancer Research and the Japanese Cancer Association
held their first of eight joint conferences. These
meetings have been aimed at bringing outstanding
American and Japanese researchers together with two
goals. The first is to provide a forum for discussion of
the latest advances in the broad field of cancer
research, both translational/clinical and basic. The
second and equally important goal is to provide a
mechanism for the interpersonal interactions which
foster international collaborations. These conferences
have been extremely successful in both areas and are
tangible examples of the close relationship between the
AACR and the JCA.
The Ninth Joint Conference continues to extend this
tradition. The 12 conference sessions will feature
outstanding speakers covering topics ranging from
basic science to therapeutics, including prevention,
epigenetics, and other important areas. Thus, the
conference will take a broad view of contemporary
cancer research that is intended to be of interest to
basic and clinical investigators. The organization and
timing of the platform and poster sessions have been
designed to maximize interactions. The conference
organizers believe that this meeting will catalyze many
new collaborations, just as its predecessors have done.
