2.X.2. Cancer Screening Across the Life Course and Surveillance Bias

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: The proposed workshop organized by the Chronic Disease EPH section will start with an overview of the impact of a life course perspective on cancer prevention and screening strategies, in the context of aging populations and fear of increasing health inequity. It will be followed by three presentations to address issues of cancer screening inequalities, low-value cancer screening, and cancer surveillance bias due to screening. Key messages • Due to population aging, the burden of cancer increases and calls for new cancer prevention and screening strategies. • Cancer screening strategies must be adapted among older adults and designed to prevent inequities.
