The 2009 Conference on Clinical Cancer Research, hosted by the Engelberg Center for Health Care Reform and Friends of Cancer Research, brought together distinguished members of the cancer community for in-depth discussions of critical issues at the intersection of clinical research and policy.
The all-day event on September 14 convened leaders from the National Cancer Institute (NCI), academia, patient advocacy organizations, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and various industry organizations, to discuss specific research and policy issues, as well as build consensus around solutions to critical questions regarding the future of clinical cancer research.
