Please see announcement below about the Cancer Survival Group's annual short course on Cancer Survival this July!
The Cancer Survival Group will be running our 19th annual short course on Cancer Survival: Principles, Methods and Applications at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine during the week of 13-17 July 2026. This is a full-time, in-person course. Some NAACCR members attended a three-day version of the course during the annual NAACCR meeting in Boise, ID, in June 2024.
Faculty will include Professor Claudia Allemani, Professor Michel Coleman (LSHTM), Professor Maja Pohar Perme (University of Ljubljana, Slovenia) and other members of the Cancer Survival Group.
The course is focused on estimation and real-world applications of cancer survival. It covers the theory, the formulae and statistical modelling, but it also covers cancer registration, data quality control, and other cancer metrics such as incidence, mortality, cure and prevalence, as well as international comparisons of survival, and the public health and policy implications of trends and inequalities in cancer survival.
Over the last 20 years (with a two-year gap for the pandemic), we have welcomed participants from more than 60 countries, from Myanmar to Canada and the USA, from Iceland to Argentina, New Zealand to the Russian Federation, and the International Agency for Research on Cancer.
