On Tuesday, May 28th, the Cancer Network at Health invited the public to the Public Cancer Meeting 2024. More than 500 attendees signed up for an evening dedicated to cancer research, featuring both a lively atmosphere and exciting talks on the program.
It was a resounding success when The Translational Cancer Network at Health invited the public for the first time to inspiring lectures from researchers at Aarhus University and Aarhus University Hospital.
According to the chairpersons of The Translational Cancer Network, the goal of a Public Cancer Meeting is to highlight some of the groundbreaking cancer research being conducted in Aarhus. Throughout the evening, dialogue flowed between researchers, doctors, patient associations, and curious citizens.
Public Cancer Meeting 2024 offers a rare opportunity to meet those who have their "finger on the pulse" of cancer research and treatment. Dean Anne-Mette Hvas welcomes attendees to Public Cancer Meeting 2024, accompanied by the chairpersons of the Translational Cancer Network, Professor Martin Roelsgaard Jakobsen and Clinical Chair Professor Signe Borgquist.
The goal of the evening is to provide participants with firsthand knowledge about how research is conducted and, for example, translated from the laboratory to patients' real-life situations. The first talk, by Clinical Professor Jesper Grau Eriksen and Professor Thomas Poulsen, discusses how new technologies and drugs can help overcome resistance in radiation therapy.
Clinical Professor Christian Lodberg Hvas enthusiastically discusses the role of the gut and the immune system in immunotherapy treatment, accompanied by Professor Martin Roelsgaard Jakobsen.
Throughout the evening, several breaks are scheduled, providing participants with the opportunity to mingle or talk with researchers and patient associations about cancer treatment, prevention, inclusion in clinical studies, and many other aspects of the cancer research taking place in Aarhus.
After an eventful and exciting evening, the chairpersons of the Translational Cancer Network thank everyone for attending this first edition of the Public Cancer Meeting.
