Perspectives on Cancer and Aging
In this first installment of the NCI-sponsored Perspectives on Cancer and Aging: The Arti Hurria Memorial Webinar Series, Supriya Mohile of the University of Rochester and William Dale of City of Hope discussed a history of geriatric oncology in the U.S., highlighting the contributions of the late Dr. Arti Hurria, an internationally recognized leader in the field. They also covered current research priorities in cancer and aging, including “accelerated aging,” and collaborative efforts for cancer and aging research.
About the series: Dr. Arti Hurria, MD, was a pioneer in the fields of geriatrics and oncology and a BRP grantee and collaborator. This quarterly webinar series strives to honor her legacy by creating a community of researchers dedicated to cancer and aging research and building a platform to broadly disseminate their work.
