Boston is widely acknowledged as a worldwide center for cancer diagnosis and treatment, a field which is being transformed through scientific discovery and life-saving therapy every day. Mass General brings together leading clinicians, researchers, policy leaders and cancer survivors to explore the newest innovations and challenges in cancer diagnosis and treatment. Organized along themes of breakthroughs and personal journeys, the day is relevant for clinical and research professionals as well as survivors and families. Examine cutting edge approaches to using one’s own immune system to fight cancer. Explore clinical and policy questions about lung cancer screening. Get up-to-date on the latest genetic diagnosis and treatment technology for breast cancer, and be inspired by stories from survivors and families touched by cancer.
This event is hosted by Massachusetts General Hospital as part of #HUBweek.
