Key stakeholders outline their vision for a world-leading cancer research strategy for the island of Ireland
Where have we come from, what have we achieved, what are the next frontiers?
Our panel of stakeholders discuss key aspects of cancer policy, strategies they want to see implemented to enhance research, access to treatments, equity and improved patient outcomes on the island of Ireland. Plus, life after cancer and the problem of financial discrimination cancer survivors are facing
Ireland lags behind other European countries when it comes to attracting clinical trials.
The recent torrent of innovation in cancer screening technologies promise significant improvements in early detection and diagnosis. While many of these novel or non-standard techniques and approaches have the potential to improve patient experiences or screen for cancers that were previously unable to be screened for, some of the most promising are still being evaluated. So what is the right way to think about integrating these novel technologies into preventive care?
Advances in genome sequencing and machine learning have facilitated the development of blood-based multi-cancer early detection tests intended to complement single-cancer screening. Hear how MCED tests can interrogate circulating cell-free DNA to detect a shared cancer signal across multiple tumour types
We know that improving access to evidence-based screening, early diagnosis and timely treatment is essential for avoiding mortality and morbidity for patients, wasting resources and increasing costs of late-stage care. So, why does equitable access to screening, earlier diagnosis and treatment remain slow? Our panel discusses improving access to screening, diagnosis and treatment emphasising the role of innovation and best practices
In the Republic “Do you have health insurance?” is a question that sadly has to be asked more and more by oncologists. How do we reduce health inequalities in cancer care? Are public cancer patients being left behind in a two-tier health system? Accessing the treatments that are proven to work.
How genomics is supporting healthcare providers and patients
Can the administration of SACT (Systemic Ant-cancer Treatments) in the community setting improve patient outcomes?
