Eurasian Scientific Publications and Meeting Abstracts

Since its inception, AECA has fostered collaboration between North American and Eurasian cancer control stakeholders, which has stimulated international scientific research agendas and led to oncology advancements which have improved patient wellbeing. Global leaders are often motivated to engage in collaborative partnerships in order to gain access to specialized equipment, tap into new sources of funding, or exchange innovative ideas; always with the ultimate goal to develop novel diagnostic and treatment techniques to improve cancer care. AECA helps navigate the political, logistical, and cultural barriers that can deter these fruitful efforts. 

Scientific publications can serve as a concrete byproduct of the productive relationships AECA has established within the global oncology field. In the spirit of increasing the visibility of pioneering research conducted by AECA clinical experts or through AECA-established working groups, selected publications and conference abstracts by collaborators from Eurasia-based institutions.
