14th Annual Scientific Retreat
October 11-13, 2007
Researchers in the field of prostate cancer have made extraordinary progress in the past decade since the founding of the Prostate Cancer Foundation (PCF). In stark contrast to what existed in 1993, there is currently an abundance of talent, activity and resources dedicated to battling this disease. Yet, systemic obstacles continue to hamper the ability of researchers to move the field forward.
The sessions at the PCF 14th Annual Scientific Retreat in October, attended by more than 200 scientific leaders from academia, governmental agencies and the biopharmaceutical industry, spurred dialogue within the prostate cancer research community about the challenges being faced today, helping researchers identify new therapeutic avenues for men with this deadly disease.
