CCBIO Seminar - Jarle Breivik

CCBIO Seminar 17. desember med gjesteforeleser Jarle Breivik om temaet "Cancer and aging: Facing realities and an uncertain future".

Hovedinnhold

Gjesteforeleser: Jarle Breivik fra the Department of Behavioural Sciences in Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, University of Oslo.

Tittel: "Cancer and aging: Facing realities and an uncertain future"

Sammendrag: The medical research community has for decades sustained the myth that the solution to cancer is just around the corner. The fact is that today's cancer epidemic is not a problem that modern medicine is about to solve - it is a problem we are about to create. It is therefore necessary to communicate a more realistic understanding of cancer and cancer research. Here I will discuss this problem of cancer communication in relation to the fundamental problem of cancer biology. How do we explain to the public that cancer is a natural consequence of aging - and that the better we get at treating cancer, the longer we live and the more cancer there will be in the population? Is there a way to beat this problem - and if so, what kind of world are we creating? 

Når: 14.30

Ordstyrer: Lars A. Akslen.

Etter seminarer har CCBIO gleden av å invitere til en uformell sammenkomst utenfor auditoriet med servering av pizza og drikke. 

Velkommen til alle forskere, studenter og andre interesserte!
