conference notice: Prevention and Early Detection of Ovarian Cancer -- NY - May 2013

Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and Johns Hopkins University present 4th Annual Ovarian Cancer Symposium
Prevention and Early Detection of Ovarian Cancer
May 13-14, 2013

Prevention and Early Detection of Ovarian Cancer

CME

The past decade has seen rapid growth of research into the prevention and early detection of ovarian cancer. Screening studies have been met with mixed results and the newly identified putative precursor lesions within the distal fallopian tube have become well accepted. This conference is an outreach of the Department of Defense-sponsored ovarian cancer research consortium on early molecular changes associated with disease. This symposium will bring together leading researchers to discuss progress made toward prevention and early detection of ovarian cancer. Only through understanding the origins of ovarian cancer is progress likely to be made in these important areas.

Learning Objectives

Upon conclusion of this program, participants should be able to:

1. Understand the current molecular approaches to prevention and early detection of ovarian cancer
2. Obtain an update on the latest molecular findings implicating the distal fallopian tube as the site of origin for most ovarian cancer
3. Learn how current laboratory research will impact future prevention and treatment

Call for Abstracts

As part of the 4th Annual Ovarian Cancer Symposium, which will take place on May 13 and 14, 2013, it is our pleasure to invite you to submit an abstract for poster presentation. Abstracts for presentation will be selected on merit, with priority given to early detection and prevention, in accordance with the symposium theme; however, abstracts related to any area of ovarian cancer research will be considered. Abstract submission is open to individuals of all professional and academic levels involved in ovarian cancer research. Travel expenses are the responsibility of the individual, but registration fees will be waived for poster presenters.
