title: Future Perspectives and Passion - Measures of A Worthy 1st Conference of the Asian Pacific Organization for Cancer Prevention?
abstract: A successful conference may have many characteristics. The planned 1(st) Conference of the Asian Pacific Organization for Cancer Prevention (APOCP) requires application of strict criteria to ensure that the aims are to be achieved. It is essential that outcome measures, a performance framework, explicit learning objectives and an open policy regarding finance be pursued. Success in generating a region-wide perspective on future research into the cancer education, epidemiology, screening and intervention and toxicological pathology areas of cancer prevention will depend on the passion brought to bear by the participants.
