Clinical cancer epidemiology Course: From prevention to treatment and patient care.
Researchers at King’s College London (KCL) and Karolinska Institutet (KI) are collaborating in organising a course entitled Clinical cancer epidemiology: From prevention to treatment and patient care.

The course will be organised over 5 days from June until December, with the first four days in a virtual setting and the fifth day as in person meeting at the Science Gallery at KCL in London. The course focuses on how clinical epidemiology is a needed tool throughout the cancer care pathway in terms of research methodology. The course aims to develop the participants' understanding of clinical cancer epidemiology and how it can provide a methodology for researching prevention, early diagnosis and detection, treatment outcomes, and living with and beyond cancer.
