• Frontiers in Basic Cancer Research
• AACR-NCI-EORTC Molecular Targets and Cancer Therapeutics
• Eighth Annual AACR International Conference on Frontiers in Cancer Prevention Research
• CTRC-AACR San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium
• AACR 101st Annual Meeting 2010
• International Conference on Molecular Diagnostics in Cancer Therapeutic Development
• Conference on The Science of Cancer Health Disparities in Racial/Ethnic Minorities and the Medically Underserved

Representatives from recognized news organizations or publications are cordially invited to attend press briefings and scientific sessions at these meetings. Journalists also may attend AACR meetings without press programs, but may report about research presented at these meetings only with the prior approval of the scientists presenting their findings.

Reporters are encouraged to develop stories based on scientific papers published in the AACR’s five peer-reviewed journals. The AACR Communications Department routinely distributes press releases about particularly newsworthy journal articles. However, reporters may also write about other research published in the journals, so long as listed embargoes are followed.
