The theme of this year’s conference will be “Screening in Balance”, emphasizing the importance of continuously weighing the benefits and harms of cancer screening programs. The focus of the conference will be on collaborative research that fosters efficient and effective approaches to cancer control worldwide through organized approaches to population-based cancer screening.

- Reaching the hard-to-reach populations
The meeting will be open to cancer screening research across all cancer sites, for which population-based screening is being delivered, piloted or seriously considered.
