This will be the seventh AACR Special Conference on Advances in Breast Cancer Research; which traditionally has been one of the most well attended programs in the Special Conferences Series. The 2013 program will include thought-leaders in the areas of genomics, epigenomics, models of breast cancer, stem cells and lineage tracing, tumor dormancy and metastasis, tumor microenvironment and immunity and targeted therapies. Thematic sessions will consist of 20-25-minute presentations with ample time for discussion. In addition, a select number of highly-rated proffered papers will be presented in the plenary sessions. Poster sessions will again be held to allow investigators to present and discuss their latest research in an informal setting. This conference will appeal to basic scientists as well as investigators focused on experimental, translational and clinical aspects of breast cancer.
