What

The AACR Frontiers in Cancer Prevention meeting is the location to learn about the latest in scientific breakthroughs and epidemiology regarding the prevention of one of the world's deadliest diseases. This year's conference brings together delegates from all over the world to discuss new information in genetics, diet, exercise and socioeconomic conditions that affect cancer incidence.

This year, the American Association for Cancer Research will host an educational teleconference for media professionals on the topic of diet and cancer prevention.
