AACR 2020 To Take Place Virtually, in Two Phases

The live annual meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research was terminated April 6. Instead, the meeting will take place virtually, near the originally scheduled dates.

No Virtual Digestive Disease Week, But Content to be Released May 2

The annual Digestive Disease Week meeting has been canceled, and the organizers have decided not to put on a virtual meeting.

However, the ePosters and ePapers website will go live on May 2, and will follow the original embargo schedule. The website will feature all accepted abstracts.

I have been credentialed for virtual BIO 2020

I have been credentialed to attend the annual BIO meeting as press. 

This year, BIO will be a virtual conference, taking place from June 8-12.

I covered BIO last year for the journal P&T. Clips available upon request.

I am happy to entertain any requests for coverage.

Midwest Business Group on Health Rescheduled for September

The annual meeting of the Midwest Business Group on Health has been rescheduled for Sept. 3-4 in Chicago.

I am registered, and happy to take any assignments.

Some cancellations

The AACR preconference presscast was canceled, and the annual meeting was terminated. Digestive Disease Week was also canceled

The AACR Pre-Conference Webcast is March 24

I will be virtually attending the March 24 pre-conference presscast for the annual AACR meeting.

I am also registered for the AACR's annual meeting in San Diego. I have made travel arrangements, and I can attend and cover the conference for you.

The pre-conference event will include discussions of research on statin treatment in subgroups of ovarian cancer patients, 

a real world assessment of immunotherapy in stage III melanoma, and the predictive value of precision medicine in young cancer patients.

Also, the following day, the embargo will lift on "AACR Cancer Disparities Progress Report 2020: Achieving the Bold Vision of Health Equity for Racial and Ethnic Minorities and Other Underserved Populations."

Please contact me to arrange for coverage.
