The Early Detection of Cancer Conference brought top scientists and innovators in cancer research and bioengineering, physicians, patients, industry leaders and supporters to San Francisco in October to share the latest findings in early detection of cancer.
International Collaboration for Cancer Detection
The conference evolved from the formed international collaboration to accelerate research in the early detection of cancer. This partnership includes:
- Canary Center at Stanford
- Cancer Research UK
- OHSU Knight Cancer Institute
The goal of this unique trans-Atlantic agreement is to find lethal cancers as they are forming so they can be treated more effectively. Survival increases significantly when the disease is treated at an early stage.
Breaking Down Barriers
The collaboration also seeks to accelerate progress by breaking down barriers for scientists, fostering international cooperation and knowledge sharing in the critical field of cancer early detection.
