New Horizons in Cancer Research: Opportunities and Challenges

Telus Convention Centre & Hyatt Regency Hotel, Calgary, Alberta

The Canadian Cancer Research Conference (CCRC) brings together the Canadian cancer research community for an agenda spanning the research spectrum. This is an ideal opportunity for researchers, trainees, clinicians, decision-makers, and patients to hear the latest developments in Canadian cancer research and network across research disciplines.

The biennial CCRC is organized by the Canadian Partnership Against Cancer under the direction of the Canadian Cancer Research Alliance (CCRA). The CCRC is a key activity of the CCRA and staff at the Partnership facilitate the organization and delivery of the conference with guidance from members of the CCRA. The Partnership is the CCRC’s premier supporter.
