“On the Brink of the Tipping Point?”
September 26 – 27, 2005
Summit IX Executive Summary
Summit IX aimed to review past achievements and examine successes both in and outside the Summit to gauge how far we've come towards "tipping" cancer clinical trials. From there, Summit members assessed what issues still need to be addressed and discussed potential tasks for the work groups in 2006.
On behalf of the Summit Conveners, we would like to thank all those who have contributed to the Summit Series. We've made great progress and are looking forward to another year of dedicated work and accomplishment.
