Christine M. Lovly, Dr. Norman and Melinda Payson Professorship in Medical Oncology at City of Hope, Member Board of Directors at AACR, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“The world of cancer medicine and cancer research is exploding (in a good way)!
It was amazing and humbling to see so many advances and so much innovation at the American Association for Cancer Research Annual Meeting this week. And to be able to learn alongside colleagues/friends who are brilliant, funny, and fiercely dedicated makes it even better!
2026 was the year that:
- Pancreas cancer took the main stage.
- AI was foundational, not aspirational.
- Trainees showed up and showed off their amazing work, acknowledging our funding challenges over 2025 but deterred nonetheless.
Thank you so much to Alice Shaw, Mischel Paul, Lillian Siu, Keith Flaherty, Margaret Foti, and the entire AACR team for putting together such an outstanding program! Save the date for AACR27 – April 2-7, 2027 in Orlando, Florida!”
