About

The purpose of the ECOG-ACRIN Cancer Research Group’s semi-annual meetings is to present the latest in basic, clinical, and translational research by Group leaders in the areas of cancer prevention, imaging, diagnosis, and treatment; provide a forum for academic inquiry among physicians, clinical research professionals, patient advocates, and others; host education sessions on engaging patients and the public in the clinical research process; reinforce compliance with Group policies and procedures; and offer non-CME training and education workshops for research professionals.

ECOG-ACRIN Group Meetings are open to researchers and staff affiliated with member institutions, ECOG-ACRIN patient advocates, industry representatives, and other invited individuals.

Please note: All Fall 2026 Group Meeting sessions will be conducted in-person only; ECOG-ACRIN members unable to attend in person may register for access to session recordings (open/general committee sessions only; to be posted after the meeting concludes). Registration is required to access these recordings.
