The Karmanos Cancer Institute and Wayne State University School of Medicine are hosting the 2007 NAACCR Annual Scientific Conference. This year's conference theme, "Cancer Knows No Borders", highlights the international scope of NAACCR and its members as well as the integration of the numerous specialties and disciplines that are involved in cancer registration, treatment and research.

The focus of the presentations will be on knowledge gained from this multidisciplinary approach to research, surveillance and outcome evaluations. Areas of presentation include Interoperability of Cancer Registration Standards, Quality of Care and Cartographies of Cancer. The wide range of cancer registry data use will be showcased in oral and poster sessions on these and many other topics including Registry Operations, Quality Assurance, Collaborative Staging, Screening, Cancer Control, and Spatial Epidemiology. There will also be pre- and post-conference workshops on cancer registration and uses/analyses of cancer registry data.
