9th Annual Symposium on Global Cancer Research @ The 2021 Consortium of Universities for Global Health Annual Conference

The 9^th Annual Symposium on Global Cancer Research will be held virtually March 10-11, 2021, as a satellite meeting to the 12^th Annual Consortium of Universities for Global Health (CUGH) Global Health Conference.

Duncan Comprehensive Cancer Center at Baylor College of Medicine, Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins University, University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), and the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR). The objectives of this virtual Symposium are to: (1) provide a venue for the global oncology research community to exchange information to identify potential areas for collaboration; (2) develop strategic priorities for advancing the field of global oncology; and (3) share initiatives that are reducing the burden of cancer in low resource settings.
