title: The 93rd Annual Meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research. 6-10 April 2002, San Francisco, California, USA.
abstract: 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.
