The Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê Cancer Domain Symposium, entitled 'Rethinking Cancer', took place on Monday 13 May 2019.
Over 430 people attended the inaugural Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê Cancer Domain Symposium. Speakers and attendees representingÌýa wide range of disciplines across Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê and partner organisations, assembledÌýfor the first time at such a large scale to consider challenges and opportunities in cancer research, prevention and treatment, from biological, clinical, technical, economic and societal perspectives.

Video recordings of the presentations and panel discussions can be found below. They are a great resource, so if you missed the event, or even if you were there, please take a look for a unique insight into some of the most pressing questions and cutting edge research being deployed to beat cancer research and the innovative multi-disciplinary approaches that are being deployed across Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê and beyond.Ìý
