SUMMARY:E-Cigarette Summit -Science\, Regulation & Public Health
DESCRIPTION:The Summit will take place at The Georgetown Marriott Hotel\, in Washington\, DC on Monday\, May 8\, 2017. View the program at  www.e-cigarette-summit.com/usa. \nE-Cigarette Summit includes high level briefings from policy\, scientific and health experts and encourages interaction through panel debates and open floor discussions. Questions will be explored in a balanced and objective environment allowing attendees to build their knowledge and share their viewpoints. \n2017 will be a watershed year for electronic cigarettes as new regulations come in to effect across the US and many other countries.  These first attempts to regulate an entirely novel product category will set the agenda for decades to come and is likely to be viewed as a pivotal era in both tobacco control and combustible tobacco use in the future. \nGood regulation and policy is essential to ensure that the balance of benefits to risks for consumers and the broader public health is as positive as possible. How far regulation has to go to deliver these goals can only be informed by well-structured research and balanced analysis and communication of evidence.  The E-Cigarette Summit has a single aim of facilitating respectful dialogue and thoughtful analysis of the latest evidence in context of public health concerns. \nThere is no doubt that e-cigarettes remain one of the most controversial public health issues of our time and have created unprecedented divisions within long standing professional alliances across tobacco control\, public health and scientific communities.   The E-Cigarette Summit provides a much needed neutral platform to understand the issues that lie behind these differing perspectives and policy positions and explore how to balance the opportunity of e-cigarettes while remaining responsive to the potential risks. \nTo ensure neutrality\, the event is solely funded through individual delegate revenues and sponsorship from commercial or non-profit entities is not accepted.  To book your place please go to www.e-cigarette-summit.com/usa

SUMMARY:Cancer Survivorship Symposium: Advancing Care and Research
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE. \nAs a result of the progress in cancer care\, more people are surviving cancer than ever before. With two-thirds of Americans now living at least 5 years after a cancer diagnosis\, there are now 13.7 million cancer survivors living in the United States\, and millions more around the world. By 2022\, that number is expected to increase by 35%. Although the growing number of survivors is a welcome sign of progress\, this trend also presents a challenge because many of these individuals require significant\, ongoing care\, such as surveillance for cancer recurrence\, screening for new cancers\, and care for the long-term effects of their initial treatment. \nAs time from an initial diagnosis elapses\, survivors are more likely to receive care from their primary care practitioners (PCPs)\, and survivors with several comorbidities receive care from multiple providers\, underscoring the need to coordinate care among providers. Because uniform standards for the care of survivors have not been fully established\, significant efforts are required to understand the needs of survivors and to develop models of comprehensive\, coordinated care that meet those needs. \nThis unique collaboration among the American Academy of Family Physicians\, the American College of Physicians\, and the American Society of Clinical Oncology will provide information about survivorship issues that both primary care physicians and oncologists are faced with throughout the cancer care continuum. The Symposium represents an innovative approach to education and patient care. \nVIEW PROGRAM \nKEY DATES:\nAUGUST 10\, 2016\nRegistration and Hotel Reservations Open \nOCTOBER 4\, 2016\, AT 11:59 PM (EDT)\nAbstract Submission Deadline \nDECEMBER 21\, 2016\, AT 11:59 PM (EST)\nHotel Reservation and Early Registration Deadline\nWant to receive your Meeting badge in the mail before the Meeting?
