The AACR 100th Annual Meeting 2009, which was held April 18-22, 2009, in Denver, resulted in more than 200 original news stories appearing on major wire services and in leading national and international newspapers and magazines; on network and affiliate broadcasts across the United States; and on radio and Internet outlets.

A press briefing on genetics and another on prevention proved to be very popular among reporters, generating media placements from the nation's top journalists. Several consumer-friendly stories yielded significant coverage, including the latest findings on cancer detection, genetic predisposition, and the connection between diet and cancer incidence.
