The American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) annual meeting is currently underway at McCormick Place Convention Center in Chicago, with over 21,000 attendees from all over the world. Despite recent challenges in the field of cancer research, including actions taken by the Trump administration, scientists and oncologists remain enthusiastic about the progress and innovations being made in the fight against cancer.
This year’s conference has already showcased some groundbreaking findings that have the potential to revolutionize cancer prevention and treatment. The atmosphere at the event is buzzing with excitement as researchers and healthcare professionals come together to share their knowledge and insights.
One particularly striking display at the conference is a world map outside the main exhibition hall, where attendees are pinning their home cities. By the end of Day 2, the map is covered with colorful clusters of pins representing the global reach of the AACR conference.
While some of the content at the conference is exclusive to STAT+ subscribers, there is still a wealth of information available to all attendees. From cutting-edge research presentations to networking opportunities with leading experts in the field, the AACR annual meeting offers a unique platform for collaboration and learning.
As the conference enters its final day, participants are looking forward to continuing the discussions and collaborations that have been sparked during this event. The exchange of ideas and the sharing of knowledge at AACR are vital in driving forward the fight against cancer and improving outcomes for patients worldwide.
