DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Cancer is the leading cause of death in the United States with over 1.2 million cases diagnosed each year. With 1 out of every 2 men and 1 our of every 3 women developing cancer at some point in their lifetime, there is an ever growing likelihood that every American will be touched by cancer, either directly as a survivor or by knowing someone who is going through the survival process. Leading the war against cancer are two groups, basic researchers and clinical practitioners. Both of these groups have a significant impact on the detection, prevention and treatment of cancer processes and related illnesses. While these two groups are inexplicably linked, there exists not only a need to encourage interdisciplinary interaction, but also a venue in which to foster it. The Cancer Prevention & Research Center at Washington State University is working actively to "bridging the gap between basic research and clinical practice" and to facilitate translational research. An effective means by which this can be accomplished is the Inland Northwest Cancer Conference (INCC). Since 1999, the INCC has brought together hundreds of basic researchers, clinicians, nurses, graduate students and post doctoral professionals in an environment where interdisciplinary communication and professional interaction can and does occur. The conference, which is held in November, has grown from a local annual event to a regional biennial event drawing professionals from Washington, Northern and Central Idaho, Montana and Oregon. The format includes 3-4 "Bridging the Gap" sessions with all attendees, and several breakout sessions over 1.5 days where participants can choose from a variety of speakers from both clinical practice and basic research. The 2004 conference entitled "Bridging the Gap, Breakthroughs in Cancer Care and Research" will be held on November 12th and 13th at the Davenport Hotel in Spokane, WA.

描述（由申请人提供）：癌症是美国死亡的主要原因，每年诊断出超过120万例。 每2名男性中就有1人，每3名女性中就有1人在一生中的某个时候患上癌症，每个美国人都有越来越大的可能性被癌症所触及，无论是作为幸存者还是通过了解正在经历生存过程的人。 领导抗癌战争的是两个群体，基础研究人员和临床实践者。 这两个群体对癌症过程和相关疾病的检测、预防和治疗都有重大影响。 虽然这两个群体之间存在着难以解释的联系，但不仅需要鼓励跨学科的互动，而且需要一个促进这种互动的场所。华盛顿州立大学癌症预防与研究中心正在积极努力“弥合基础研究与临床实践之间的差距”，并促进转化研究。 西北内陆癌症会议（INCC）是实现这一目标的有效手段。 自1999年以来，INCC汇集了数百名基础研究人员，临床医生，护士，研究生和博士后专业人员，在跨学科交流和专业互动的环境中可以而且确实发生。 该会议于11月举行，已从当地的年度活动发展成为区域性的两年一度的活动，吸引了来自华盛顿、北方和中部爱达荷州、蒙大拿州和俄勒冈州的专业人士。 该格式包括3-4个“弥合差距”会议与所有与会者，和几个突破会议超过1.5天，与会者可以选择从各种扬声器从临床实践和基础研究。 2004年题为“弥合差距，突破癌症护理和研究”的会议将于11月12日和13日在华盛顿州斯波坎的达文波特酒店举行。
