ASPO abstract review process is:

The 2023 ASPO Program Committee, along with volunteer reviewers, will review all abstracts and rank them based on a merit scoring system.
High ranking abstracts will be selected for oral presentation during one of the four proffered paper sessions.
The top 16 abstracts will be published in a 2023 issue of Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers and Prevention.
The next 40 top-ranked abstracts will be identified for further judging during the poster session for the ASPO Best Poster award. Top-ranked posters will be considered by the Cancer Disparities SIG to receive the Cancer Disparities Poster Awards.
Abstracts not chosen for presentation may still be posted on the ASPO website provided the submitter registers for the conference.
