The American Association for Cancer Research held its 93rd Annual Meeting on 6 - 10 April 2002. This was an enormous meeting with approximately 14,000 registrants and some 5750 abstracts, the vast majority of which were presented as posters. Those abstracts judged to be of particular significance or interest were presented as 15-min platform presentations in minisymposia, of which there were 36 during the meeting. In addition to this, there was a full day of 15 educational sessions (each with three to four speakers), 11 award lectures, 47 early morning Meet-the-Expert Sunrise Sessions. There was a mind-boggling array of choices for those interested in cancer research. This meeting was the largest ever convened on a single disease. We will endeavour to provide some of the highlights of this exciting meeting.
美国癌症研究协会于2002年4月6日至10日召开了第93届年会。这是一次规模盛大的会议，约有14000名注册参会者，提交了约5750篇摘要，其中绝大多数以海报形式展示。那些被认为具有特别重要意义或值得关注的摘要，在小型专题研讨会上作为15分钟的大会发言展示，会议期间共有36场这样的小型专题研讨会。除此之外，还有一整天安排了15场教育课程（每场有三到四位演讲者）、11场颁奖讲座、47场清晨的“与专家面对面”早餐会。对于那些对癌症研究感兴趣的人来说，可供选择的内容多得令人难以置信。这次会议是有史以来就单一疾病召开的规模最大的会议。我们将努力呈现这次激动人心的会议的一些亮点。
