Nutritional Supplements and Cancer Chemoprevention

描述（由申请人提供）：本提案为将于2002年8月18日至22日在波士顿举行的第224届美国化学学会年会上举行的研讨会申请资金支持。这次研讨会是由美国化学会化学毒理学分会的项目主席邀请的，主题是化学、生物学、营养补充剂和癌症化学预防。这显然是一个当代非常感兴趣的话题，美国化学会将大力宣传这次研讨会。会议对所有注册人开放，预计约有200人出席。讨论会将持续大约四个小时。以下个人同意参与。Peter Greenwald，马里兰州贝塞斯达国家癌症研究所；Michael B. Sporn，达特茅斯医学院，汉诺威，新罕布什尔州；加里·斯托纳，俄亥俄州哥伦布市俄亥俄州立大学医学中心；此外，研讨会组织者John M. Pezzuto将发表演讲。癌症化学预防在之前的美国化学会会议上没有得到太多的关注，所以这将是一个很好的机会，让领先的专家总结当前在该领域的知识，并强调该学科的重要性。除了介绍最近的数据外，研讨会还将有助于为癌症化学预防领域的未来方向提供一个视角。这次重要会议的注册人应该对这次研讨会非常感兴趣。吸引这些参与者的注意应该提供宝贵的教学经验，并有助于促进癌症化学预防领域的进一步进展。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal is to request financial support for a symposium to be held at the 224th Annual Meeting of the American Chemical Society that will be held during the period of August 18-22, 2002, in Boston. The symposium was invited by the Program Chair of the Chemical Toxicology Division of the American Chemical Society, and will be entitled AChemistry and Biology and Nutritional Supplements and Cancer Chemoprevention.@ This is clearly a topic of great contemporary interest, and the symposium will be well publicized by the American Chemical Society. Attendance is open to all registrants of the meeting, and an audience of approximately 200 is anticipated. The symposium will be approximately four hours in duration. The following individuals have agreed to participate. Peter Greenwald, National Cancer Institute, Bethesda, MD; Michael B. Sporn, Dartmouth Medical School, Hanover, NH; Gary Stoner, Ohio State University Medical Center, Columbus, OH; Paul Talalay, The John Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD. In addition, the symposium organizer, John M. Pezzuto, will present a lecture. Cancer Chemoprevention has not received much attention at previous meetings of the American Chemical Society, so this will be an excellent opportunity for leading experts to summarize current knowledge in the area, and to emphasize the importance of the discipline. In addition to presenting recent data, the symposium will help to provide a perspective on future directions in the area of cancer chemoprevention. The symposium should be of significant interest to the registrants of this important meeting. Attracting the attention of these participants should provide a valuable pedagogical experience and help to foster additional progress in the field of cancer chemoprevention.
