The AACR Virtual Patient Advocate Forum explores how advanced technologies are transforming cancer care, with a focused lens on immunotherapy, precision oncology, imaging, and survivorship. Building on the February 2023 Forum, The Impact of Advanced Technologies on Cancer Research, this program highlights how innovations in these areas are driving unprecedented progress in understanding, diagnosing, and treating cancer. Experts share how cutting-edge tools are revealing new biological insights and enabling more personalized, effective interventions. The Forum also emphasizes how these technologies are shaping the patient experience across the continuum of care—from diagnosis through survivorship.
