2013 California Breast Cancer Research Symposium From Research to Action a Decade

描述(申请人提供)：2013年5月17日至18日，加州乳腺癌研究计划(CBCRP)将在希尔顿橙县/科斯塔梅萨举办乳腺癌研究研讨会。此次活动将纪念中巴合作伙伴关系20周年。研讨会将汇集科学家、倡导者、临床医生、政策制定者和任何对乳腺癌研究主题感兴趣的人。研讨会的目标是鼓励有不同乳腺癌经历的人之间的合作，并提供一个分享他们对乳腺癌的知识的场所。研讨会的总体目标是支持公共和卫生政策和实践中以科学为基础的改变，这些改变将影响乳腺癌的发病率和死亡率。具体目标：1)促进宣传对开展乳腺癌研究和确定研究优先事项的贡献；2)提供影响乳腺癌研究、政策和患者护理方向的工具；3)促进研究人员、临床医生、倡导者、立法者和公众之间关于乳腺癌研究关键问题的讨论和合作；以及4)展示在生物学、流行病学、临床和社会文化乳腺癌研究方面取得的成就。研讨会将以演讲和海报会议为特色，介绍乳腺癌研究的最新进展，包括环境和乳腺癌(早期生命暴露，可能影响乳腺癌的化学物质的生物相关检测的进展和从大型队列研究中获得的经验教训)；开展以社区为基础的参与性研究和将倡导者纳入研究研究以影响变革的培训；以及从事乳腺癌研究和宣传的工具的实际演示。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): On May 17-18, 2013, the California Breast Cancer Research Program (CBCRP) will host a breast cancer research symposium at the Hilton Orange County/Costa Mesa. This event will commemorate the 20th anniversary of the CBCRP. The symposium will bring together scientists, advocates, clinicians, policy makers and anyone interested in the topic of breast cancer research. The goals of the symposium are to inspire collaborations between people with diverse experiences with breast cancer and provide a venue where they can share their knowledge about the disease. The overall goal of the symposium is to support scientifically-based changes in public and health policy and practice that will impact the incidence and mortality of breast cancer. Specific Objectives: 1) Facilitate contributions of advocacy to conducting breast cancer research and setting research priorities; 2) Provide tools for influencing breast cancer research, policy and patient care directions; 3) Promote discussion and collaborations among researchers clinicians, advocates, legislators and the public about critical issues in breast cancer research; and 4) Showcase achievements made in biological, epidemiological, clinical and sociocultural breast cancer research The symposium will feature talks and poster sessions presenting the most recent progress in breast cancer research including topics covering the environment and breast cancer (early life exposures, development of biologically relevant testing for chemicals that could affect breast cancer and lessons from large cohort studies); training for conducting community-based participatory research and incorporating advocates in research studies to affect change; and hands-on demonstrations of tools for engaging in breast cancer research and advocacy.
