ACPMP exhibited at the 2025 American College of Surgeons Clinical Congress (ACS) annual meeting in Chicago, IL, held October 4–7. With more than 150 new healthcare professionals added to our network and hundreds of educational materials distributed, this conference provided a vital opportunity to raise awareness about appendix cancer and connect directly with world-renowned experts in the clinical practice of surgery, as well as leaders in surgical education, research, and technology.

It also provided an opportunity to share information about ACPMP and the Medical College of Wisconsin's new free CME course, The Neoplastic Appendix: When to Watch, When to Act, When to Refer, designed to help clinicians improve diagnosis and management of appendiceal pathology: https://ocpe.mcw.edu/node/229093

ACPMP’s presence continues to help correct common misconceptions, elevate the conversation around this rare disease, and grow our impact within the broader cancer research community.
