Screening and early detection of diseases is a newly founded interest group (2024) that will connect junior and senior researchers from all fields and disease specialties to discuss screening relevant topics.
Chairs
- Mette Kielsholm Thomsen, MSPH, PhD, Department of Clinical Epidemiology
- Stine Bisgaard Greve, MD, PhD student, Department of Radiology
Aims
The “Screening and early detection of diseases”-group has two overall aims.
- To disseminate knowledge and experiences on screening and early detection methodology
- To facilitate integration between basic, clinical and epidemiological research on screening and early detection of specific diseases
As a member, you will receive inspiring information on seminars and tips for relevant conferences and lectures.
Examples of topics for seminars will include
- Lessons learned from controversies in cancer screening
- “If we test enough, everybody suffers from some disease” – when is screening applicable?
- Screening of high-risk vs. average-risk populations
- Screening as an involuntary inequality magnifier – how can we support vulnerable populations to participate in screening efforts
- Risk-stratification for personalized screening tools
- Screening specific biases in observational studies – rules of thumb and why they are not enough
- Novel biomedical, clinical and epidemiologic perspectives on early detection of x disease
