Overview

The 10th International Conference on Malignancies in AIDS and Other Acquired Immunodeficiencies (ICMAOI) will focus on the viral oncology, immunology, genetics, epidemiology, pathogenesis, early diagnosis, and clinical investigation of malignant diseases associated with AIDS and other acquired immune-deficiency states. Additional topics will include drug discovery and organ transplantation. Our objective is to facilitate the exchange of information between laboratory and clinical researchers to accelerate the translation of basic scientific discoveries into clinical applications.

Presented by the AIDS Malignancy Program and Office of International Affairs, National Cancer Institute, with support from the NCI Office of Women’s Health.

Statement of Educational Objectives for 2006 ICMAOI

Understand the malignancies associated with HIV.
Discuss state-of-the-art information on the epidemiology, pathogenesis, and clinical aspects of malignancies associated with HIV.
Enable information exchange between laboratory and clinically based investigators to decrease the interval between basic discovery and clinical application.
Explore the how and why of AIDS-related neoplastic processes and determine what the commonalities are among the AIDS-related neoplasias.
