The AACI Catchment Area Data Excellence (CADEx) Conference Planning Committee has selected three abstracts from 46 submissions for formal presentation at the 2025 CADEx Conference, January 29-31.
Winning abstract authors represent Dartmouth Cancer Center; Fox Chase Cancer Center, Temple Health; O’Neal Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of Alabama at Birmingham; Louisiana Cancer Research Center; and Huntsman Cancer Institute at the University of Utah. The concepts presented highlight innovative approaches being employed at AACI cancer centers to gather and utilize catchment area data to address regional health disparities. The three winning abstracts will be presented individually on Thursday, January 30.
