URCC NCORP Research Base 2023 Annual Meeting Recap

The URCC NCORP Research Base 2023 annual meeting was fantastic! It was our pleasure to host our NCORP Affiliates and investigators in Niagara Falls this year! The science was bold and yet practical and centered on solving real problems our cancer patients and providers face every day in the United States! Oh let’s not forget how beautiful Niagara Falls was on Friday night all lit up with fireworks to boot! See you all next year! Now let’s go get some terrific science done and change the world in the meantime.
