The Irish Cancer Society and the National Cancer Registry of Ireland invite you to the launch of the joint report
Emergency Presentation of Cancer in Ireland 2002-2015
at 10.30am on Thursday, 29 March
at the Irish Cancer Society,
43/45 Northumberland Road,
Dublin.
In 2017 the Irish Cancer Society commissioned the National Cancer Registry of Ireland to undertake a project on emergency diagnosis of cancer in Ireland. The research investigated the proportion of cancers diagnosed via emergency presentation in Ireland; the stage of diagnosis; the deprivation status of the patient; their age and gender. This is the first time in Ireland such analysis has been undertaken.
You are invited to the launch of the report on Thursday, 29th March at 10.30 am sharp.
The National Cancer Registry of Ireland will outline the main findings of the analysis; the Irish Cancer Society will discuss its implications, and outline a number of recommendations that if implemented could make a significant difference in reducing the number of cancers diagnosed via emergency presentation across the course of the ten year National Cancer Strategy.
If you would like to attend this event please RSVP to Emma Browne ebrowne@irishcancer.ie
Launch will begin at 10.30am sharp, light refreshments served afterwards.
