AACR Teleconference

Exciting new data on cancer prevention and treatment

The American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) is sponsoring a teleconference to highlight data scheduled for presentation at their Annual Meeting, which was postponed due to the outbreak of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) in Toronto.

Since much of the research to be revealed during the meeting holds significant implications for scientists, clinicians and patients, AACR is conducting this teleconference to announce the results of several key studies. These and other studies are published in AACR's 94th Annual Meeting Proceedings, which can be accessed on their Web site at www.aacr.org. Following the briefing, the phone lines will be opened for a "question and answer" session.

WHAT:
An International Toll-Free Media Teleconference
Tuesday, April 8th
9:30--10:30 a.m. EDT
The investigators are also available for one-on-one interviews.
