ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
This report summarizes activities of the US-Japan Cooperative Cancer Research Program for the Japanese Fiscal Year 1993, the period between April 1, 1993, and March 31, 1994.
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, and exchange of scientists, information, 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 first meeting of the fifth five-year period (April 1, 1994 to March 31, 1999) was held on June 23-24, 1994, in Seattle, Washington.
