From the laboratory to the patient – join us for the Public Cancer Event 2026
The Public Cancer Event 2026 brings together researchers and clinicians to present the latest knowledge in cancer research and treatment. As a member of staff at Health, you will gain insight into how research, clinical practice and cross-sector collaboration are translated into tangible benefits for patients.
Although the event is aimed at external audiences, staff at Health are very welcome to attend – and you are welcome to bring family and friends.
At the Public Cancer Event 2026, you will have the opportunity to meet some of the country’s leading researchers and clinicians from Aarhus University and Aarhus University Hospital, who work every day to translate groundbreaking research into improved treatment for patients with cancer.

At the Public Cancer Event 2026, you can learn more about:
- How does a Comprehensive Cancer Centre make a difference for patients?
- Can the immune system be stimulated to fight cancer?
- What role does the tumour microenvironment play in the treatment of breast cancer?
- Are there new ways to modulate the immune system in the treatment of brain cancer in children?
- How do ageing and a weakened immune system affect cancer treatment?
In addition to the academic presentations, you can meet researchers and patient organisations at exhibition stands. Here, you will have the opportunity to discuss prevention, treatment options, inclusion in clinical trials and the latest research taking place in Aarhus.
The event will be opened by Dean Anne-Mette Hvas and the co-chairs of The Translational Cancer Network, Professor Martin R. Jakobsen and Clinical Professor Signe Borgquist.
There will also be a break with coffee, tea and cake, providing ample time for discussion and questions. You can view the preliminary programme on the faculty’s website.
Participation is free of charge, but registration is required and places will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis via this registration page.
The Translational Cancer Network looks forward to welcoming you to an engaging evening where research and clinical practice go hand in hand to create better treatment and a safer future for cancer patients in Denmark.
