Non-invasive diagnosis of skin cancer: A joint meeting of the CINDIS project and the MVA Oncology Network
Medicon Valley Alliance (MVA) and the Consortium for Intelligent Diagnostics of Skin Cancer (CINDIS) invite you to a joint meeting about non-invasive diagnosis of skin cancers. Presentations will be delivered by Professor Merete Hædersdal, senior researcher Peter Alshede Philipsen, and PhD student Kevin Jacobsen, all of whom are affiliated with the Danish Research Center for Skin Cancer:
- Existing research initiatives in Sweden & Denmark; Kari Nielsen (BioMEL study, Lund University) and Merete Hædersdal, Danish Research Center for Skin Cancer.
- Identification of cutaneous malignant melanoma using tape strip derived RNA; Peter Alshede Philipsen, Dept. of Dermatology, Bispebjerg Hospital.
- Characterization of keratinocytic lesions with LC-OCT; Kevin Jacobsen, Dept. of Dermatology, Bispebjerg Hospital.
It is difficult to diagnose skin cancers and non-cancer spots with high precision, meaning that some go undiagnosed, while others receive unnecessary surgery or treatment. A diagnostic method that is both precise, reliable and non-invasive would therefore be of great value for patients and clinicians. This meeting will address clinical and technological aspects of non-invasive diagnosis, present initial results from the CINDIS pre-project (which has started addressing a non-invasive method), and highlight existing collaborative efforts in Sweden and Denmark, before closing off with perspectives for the coming years.
The mini-symposium is open for everyone interested in biomarker- or imaging-based diagnosis of skin cancers, whether from a clinical, academic or industrial perspective.
Participation is free, but registration is required.
Dato: 25th of September 2023
Tid: 12.30 – 17.00
Venue: Auditorium, Arne Jacobsens Allé 15, Ørestad, Copenhagen.
