ACED Patient Advocate Session

13 December 2022, 5:00 pm–7:00 pm

ACED Patient Advocate Symposium banner

The International Alliance for Cancer Early Detection (ACED) proudly presents its first symposium on patient advocacy in research. We hope this session will provide an opportunity to learn from patient advocates and experienced researchers how the involvement of patients and public advocates can improve both the quality and relevance of research, and can help researchers to better understand and articulate the benefits their work can have for cancer patients.
