2020 Arizona Cancer Summit on November 17th
"The Future of Cancer Care: From Discovery to Delivery"
Cancer remains a major health concern in our state, as more than 37,000 Arizonans are expected to receive a new cancer diagnosis this year. Developing and delivering new therapies from the research lab to patients will require collaborative solutions from researchers, business leaders, providers, and policymakers. This event will bring together experts and decision makers, as well as cancer survivors, caregivers and advocates, for an engaging discussion on the future of cancer care and how we can work together to secure new investments in research, patient access to care, and cancer prevention.
This free virtual event on Tuesday, November 17th, will begin promptly at 10:00am and end at 11:30am MST. We're pleased to offer an informative and inspiring program.
