AACR/SNMMI State-of-the-Art Molecular Imaging in Cancer Biology and Therapy: Abstracts

s. In addition to the didactic lectures, the meeting will also include over 90 poster presentations. The abstracts presented in this supplement issue to The Journal of Nuclear Medicine represent some of the most interesting ideas in molecular imaging research as applied to cancer biology and therapy. The abstracts are listed alphabetically by the last name of the presenting author, with the main abstracts followed by the invited speaker abstracts. Please note that the presenting author at the conference is not always the fi rst author of the abstract. In addition, abstracts selected to receive Young Investigator Travel Awards (AACR-Afl ac, Incorporated, Scholar-in-Training Awards and SNMMI/AACR Young Investigator Awards) are indicated by a footnote. We hope that many of our members will be able to attend this exciting conference. Carolyn J.
