IACR 2009 will be held in New Orleans, Louisiana June 1-7. This meeting will be linked to the NCRA Annual International Conference just following the NCRA meeting. Given NCI's international commitment to cancer control partnerships coupled with IACR historically serving as a key opportunity for NCI to have an international dialogue on matters of cancer registration; support of the IACR Annual Meeting is a logical extension of this partnership. Public Health Relevance: Project Narrative Cancer data forms much of the body of knowledge used by medical professionals, epidemiologists, policymakers, and public health officials for the purpose of cancer control.
