The Intercultural Cancer Council promotes policies, programs, partnerships, and research to eliminate the unequal burden of cancer among racial and ethnic minorities and medically underserved populations in the United States and its associated territories. It willcelebrate its 25th Anniversary of the Symposium Series in 2012. In 1987, the Biennial Symposium on Minorities and Cancer was launched in Houston to coincide with the launching of National Minority Cancer Awareness Week. In 1995, with the launching of the Intercultural Cancer Council, the Symposium Series moved to Washington, D.C. In 2012, the Symposium Series has returned to Houston, its city of origin. Since cancer is only one of many health disparities faced by minority and underserved individuals, the 2012 meeting will not limit its discussion to only cancer issues.
