The theme of the 2012 Conference is “Cancer Survivorship Research: Translating Science to Care.” This year’s theme reflects a growing consensus about the importance of translating scientific discoveries into clinical and behavioral interventions and replicating this work across diverse populations in a way that will optimize physical and psychosocial functioning and prolong the lives of cancer survivors.
The conference will showcase cutting-edge research across the translational science continuum. The continuum spans basic science studies, epidemiologic research, and concept development; feasibility and efficacy testing of interventions, and measurement development; and the dissemination and implementation of survivorship interventions to practice settings and policy.
The Conference will highlight research in the following areas
