The topic of chemoprevention was covered in a meeting at the European Institute of Oncology in Milan this October.
Dr Linda Cairns, Scientific Editor of the open-access journal ecancermedicalscience, has penned a brand new conference report covering the meeting which was hosted by Prof Gordon McVie and Dr Bernardo Bonnani.
'The aim of this expert meeting was to review the current status of the field of cancer prevention and potential, emerging biomarkers specifically focusing on breast, colon, and lung cancer but also with sessions on ovary and prostate.'
The overall aim was to establish guidelinesfor biomarker discovery and validation relative to high-risk individuals, with 5 biomarker types being outlined.
We are an independent charity and are not backed by a large company or society. We raise every penny ourselves to improve the standards of cancer care through education. You can help us continue our work to address inequalities in cancer care by making a donation.
Any donation, however small, contributes directly towards the costs of creating and sharing free oncology education.
Together we can get better outcomes for patients by tackling global inequalities in access to the results of cancer research.
Thank you for your support.
