The vision of the conference has been to unite researchers, scientists, physicians, healthcare professionals, patient advocates and students from across the world to discuss research advancements to date, identify gaps, and develop actionable goals to translate basic research into clinical best practices, effective community interventions, and professional training programs to eliminate cancer disparities in Latinos. This conference comes at an especially important time when Latinos - the largest, youngest and fastest-growing minority group in the U.S. - are expected to face a 142% rise in cancer cases in coming years.
