ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
This report summarizes activities of the US-Japan Cooperative Cancer Research Program for the Japanese Fiscal Year 1992, the period between April 1, 1992, and March 31, 1993.
The Program consists of the following program areas:
| I. | Etiology |
|
| II. | Biology and Diagnosis |
|
| III. | Treatment |
|
| IV. | Interdisciplinary | |
The US-Japan Bilateral Agreement calls for the organization of seminars and workshops, exchange of scientists for information exchange and materials. Detailed discussions of these activities will be reported under specific program areas. The tables compiled in this section represent overall summaries for quick review. They should be self-explanatory.
To discuss policy matters and program activities, the Joint Steering Committee of the Program meets once every year. The fifth meeting of the fourth five-year period (April 1, 1989 to March 31, 1994) was held on June 18, 1993, in Sapporo, Japan.
