ABSTRACTS

BOTH FACE-TO-FACE AND VIRTUAL DELEGATES ARE ENCOURAGED TO SUBMIT ABSTRACTS

WHY SHOULD I SUBMIT?

Peer-to-peer learning is a great way to fill knowledge gaps. Cancer Survivorship delegates are very experienced and knowledgeable, however, there is always room to learn.

We encourage you to share your own experiences, expertise and research with peers.

Not only will this help others learn, presenting at a conference is a great way to further your own development, make connections and extend the reach of your work.

WHAT TYPES OF PRESENTATIONS ARE AVAILABLE?

Cancer Survivorship offers both oral abstract presentations and poster presentations. The program committee will review all abstract submissions and allocate submissions to the program based on topic and quality.

If you cannot physically attend the conference you will be able to present virtually!

Please note: we cannot guarantee all submission preferences (i.e. oral presentations) will be met. While we strive to fulfill all preferences, limited speaking opportunities are available. Some requests for talks may need to be allocated poster presentations. We thank you for your understanding.

ABSTRACT FORMAT?

Abstracts are limited to 300 words or less. This does not include your title.

Please ensure your abstract follows the below format:

an introductory statement that outlines the background and significance of the study
a succinct description of the basic methodologies
a clear indication of the major findings of the study
a concluding statement

+ ONLINE ABSTRACT SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS

Ensure you’re using one of the following web browsers: Internet Explorer (v11 or newer) Mozilla Firefox (v44 or newer) Safari (v5 or newer)

Mac Users: if you have trouble submitting your abstract, try submitting from a PC. If you are still having issues, please contact the secretariat.

Mozilla Users: the security policy in Mozilla often prevents pasting from your clipboard without using the menu commands. You can still cut and paste your abstract into the submission, but you may have to use the menu command rather than ‘control v’ shortcut.

Top Tip: Have your abstract open in Word so you can copy and paste into the online submission portal
