This year's AACI/CCAF Annual Meeting featured a global perspective on cancer, with a panel discussion probing research, treatment, and partnerships in Kenya, Malawi, and Cuba. Closer to home, intense interest in CAR T implementation at cancer centers generated a series of informative presentations, and National Cancer Institute Director Norman Sharpless, MD, delivered his first report at an AACI gathering as he approaches his one-year anniversary as head of the agency. 

Immediately following the annual meeting, a media team from The University of Kansas Cancer Center recorded a "Bench to Bedside" video featuring AACI's new president, Roy Jensen, MD, and Jennifer Pegher, incoming executive director of AACI. Their conversation focused on AACI's history, mission, and accomplishments, with a look to the future.
