Submission

Abstracts may be submitted online using our registration system, or by email.

Website abstract submission

Abstracts may be submitted by selecting the appropriate item during online registration and following the on-screen directions. This is the preferred method of submission.

Email abstract submission

• First, register for the meeting, either online (recommended) or by mail.
• Save the abstract in HTML or plain text format.
• Attach it to an email cover letter that includes the following:
  • presenting author's registration username (or email address, if registering by fax or post)
  • name and number of the symposia session in which the author wishes to present
  • presentation preference: oral + poster, or poster only
  • statement authorizing the transfer of the abstract's copyright to CDP.
• Send the email with attached abstract to submit-abstract@cancerprev.org
• Include the phrase “abstract submission” in your email subject.

Acceptance and Scheduling

The Program Committee will review the abstracts and determine the presentation schedule based on the merits of the abstracts and the constraints of the program. The committee will be guided by the author's preference for a slide or poster presentation at the meeting. Abstracts that lack scientific content or merit, or merely announce the availability of a resource or service, will not be published. “Publication Only” status may be assigned to unscheduled worthy abstracts only in the case of multiple submissions of abstracts.

"Late-breaking findings" that become available shortly before the meeting may be submitted for presentation in a special podium program.

Publication

The peer-reviewed abstracts and papers based on the presentations will appear in Cancer Detection and Prevention. Late-breaking findings may be published on the website only.
