Sunday morning’s Opening Plenary Session borrows its name from the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting theme, “Advancing the Frontiers of Cancer Science and Medicine,” and will set the stage for this year’s scientific program, according to Annual Meeting Program Committee Chair Robert H. Vonderheide, MD, DPhil. The two-hour session, which begins at 9:30 a.m. ET in W Hall A2-3 at the convention center, features a diverse roster of speakers and presentations across the continuum of cancer research — from the lab to clinical trials to the clinic to the community. “This session truly exemplifies the theme of the meeting by showcasing examples of how research in diverse fields of study — from basic science and drug discovery to population science and health equity — are advancing those fields and opening up new frontiers in all areas of cancer research,” said Dr. Vonderheide, Director of the Abramson Cancer Center at the University of Pennsylvania, who will chair the session.
