The Agenda from Cancer Progress is Now Available

Other Embargoes of Cancer-Related Conferences to Lift Soon

Despite quarantines, data from several important cancer-related medical conferences will be coming off of embargo soon.

                The American Association for Cancer Research organized a press preview of medical news to be presented at the annual meeting, which is now to take place virtually, in two parts. The first of the two meetings (link) will take place Monday and Tuesday, April 27-28. The materials presented at the presscast will come off of embargo at 12:01 AM on Monday.

On April 29, the organizers of the annual Digestive Disease Week conference will host a press review of scientific data which was to be released at the annual meeting (which has been canceled). The data will be embargoed until April 30.

Meanwhile, another important conference, Cancer Progress, is coming up May 5-6. The agenda for the 31^st annual iteration of the meeting (link), organized by Cello Consulting, is not embargoed.

The meeting will feature discussions of immune-oncology and trends in venture capital, and pricing and reimbursement strategies, among other topics. Also included in the agenda are multiple references to J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings.

Among the panelists will be Prof. Nina Bhardwaj, MD, PhD, director of cancer immunotherapy, at the Tisch Cancer Institute at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mt Sinai in New York City, who will discuss cancer vaccines.

Here is a partially-updated list. I am available to cover these conferences- sans expenses, of course.
