13th Annual Symposium on Global Cancer Research: Reflections on Growth, Adaptation, and Commitment to Global Cancer Control

We are pleased to present the accepted abstracts from the 13th Annual Symposium on Global Cancer Research (ASGCR). The 2025 symposium highlights both the commitment and growth of the global oncology community, marking 5 years since ASGCR's transition to a fully virtual format. What began as a pandemic-driven necessity has evolved into a deliberate strategy to broaden participation and minimize barriers. Over this period, ASGCR has expanded its reach, expanded its content, and strengthened global collaboration through initiatives such as requiring low- and middle-income country coauthorship, launching the Early Career Investigator Day, and adopting open calls for scientific session proposals.
