Ovarian Cancer Screening 2011 is the fourth in the series of this international meeting uniquely focused on ovarian cancer. Under the chairmanship of celebrated gynecological cancer surgeon and researcher Prof. Ian Jacobs, specialists in the field will enrich their knowledge, exchange information and gain new insights into the latest research and approaches to screening for ovarian cancer.

There has been steady progress in ovarian cancer screening, with refinement of screening modalities and strategies, as well as the conduct of large-scale trials in both the high risk and general population. In parallel there have been rapid advances in methods for risk prediction and stratification, bringing together epidemiological and genetic criteria.

This innovative two-day meeting will review the state-of-the-art in risk prediction and screening for ovarian cancer as well as prospects for the future, novel approaches and implications for therapy. An international panel of experts will present data and their views to set the framework for extensive protected time for discussion and debate.

The purpose of this event is to facilitate the exchange of knowledge and information for researchers and clinicians involved in the screening and early detection of ovarian cancer. This innovative meeting will include an interactive workshop of researchers from academia and industry, where the goal will be to address limitations of current discovery strategies for ovarian cancer biomarkers and explore possible solutions.

This is the only event of its kind focused specifically on ovarian cancer screening, so register on the website to be a part of this unique event.
