2023 CCRC

2023

Canadian Cancer Research Conference

The 7th biennial and first-ever hybrid Canadian Cancer Research Conference was held from November 12-14, 2023 virtually and at the Halifax Convention Centre in Halifax, Nova Scotia. The goal of the conference was to:

• Showcase the range and excellence of Canadian cancer research, featuring all areas of cancer research and highlighting emerging and relevant findings from top Canadian and international researchers
• Develop the next generation of cancer researchers through network growth and providing a platform to showcase research from early-career investigators and trainees
• Advance reconciliation and equity in cancer research through intentional representation in conference organization and programming
• Promote the engagement of persons affected by cancer in research and integrate patient partners into all aspects of the conference

The CCRC 2023 scientific program consisted of plenary sessions, concurrent sessions, workshops, lightning sessions, and in-person and virtual poster presentations hall featuring leading researchers from across the cancer spectrum. Each of the four plenary sessions of the 2023 CCRC was crafted to span the four pillars of health research and facilitate cross-disciplinary discussions. The sessions were:

• Liquid Biopsies
• AI Across the Research Spectrum
• Clinical Innovations in the Real World
• Environment and Cancer

Thank you to all the 2023 CCRC Supporters for their generous contribution to the conference, ensuring its success.
