Location: Virtually via Webex

Workshop Objective:

The Division of Cancer Prevention (DCP) of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) will host the first 2021 Cancer Screening Clinical Trials Workshop. The purpose of the workshop is in part to obtain information relevant to the potential creation of a new NCI-funded cancer screening clinical trials network focused on small-to-mid range trials.

The workshop will focus on three areas as follows:

  1. Practical issues in conducting small-to-medium sized cancer screening trials.
  2. Organ-site specific priorities for NCI-funded screening trials (lung, oral cavity, bladder, renal, prostate, breast, ovarian, endometrial, CRC, upper GI, pancreatic, liver)
  3. Prior experience with cancer screening trial networks and necessary infrastructure for success.

There is no registration fee for attending however all attendees are required to individually register.

Registration will close 5:00 PM ET on October 22, 2021.

We look forward to a scientifically engaging workshop!
