OHSU Knight Cancer Institute, Canary Center at Stanford, and Cancer Research UK present the Early Detection of Cancer Conference 2018. The annual Conference brings together experts in early detection from multiple disciplines to share ground breaking research and progress in the field.
The Conference is part of a long-term commitment to invest in early detection research, to understand the biology behind early stage cancers, find new detection and screening methods and enhance uptake and accuracy of screening. The conference will be held on October 2nd – 4th at the new Knight Cancer Research Building on the campus of OHSU, Portland, Oregon.
Date: Friday 26th October 2018
Time: 17:30 - 18:30
Venue: Eastwood Room,Office of Postdoctoral Affairs, Mill Lane, Cambridge CB2 1SB
Many diseases, such as cancer, are easier to treat the earlier they are detected, so it makes sense to test people without symptoms in higher risk groups to see if they have the disease. Unfortunately, it can be hard to detect early-stage disease with accuracy, and even harder to know that our interventions will actually benefit patients. Screening saves lives, but also leads to overdiagnosis and overtreatment.
The CRUK Cambridge Centre Early Detection Programme invites you to join Dr Stephen John, Hatton Lecturer in the Philosophy of Public Health and Dr Maryon McDonald, Fellow in Social Anthropology at Robinson College, Cambridge for a seminar to discuss some of the issues around cancer screening and diagnosis.
Registrations will open on 24th September 2018.

Time: 10:30 - 15:00
