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.
The World Cancer Declaration recognises that to make major reductions in premature deaths, innovative education and training opportunities for healthcare workers in all disciplines of cancer control need to improve significantly.
ecancer plays a critical part in improving access to education for medical professionals.
