Cancer Research UK's Early Diagnosis conferences and events

Upcoming early diagnosis events

For more than a decade, Cancer Research UK has hosted a series of conferences, events, and virtual sessions to help champion, focus and accelerate efforts to achieve earlier cancer diagnosis. These events bring together researchers, health professionals, policy makers, cancer patients, and many more from across the UK and beyond – all of whom play a crucial role in driving a shared ambition to improve patient outcomes by reducing late-stage diagnosis.

Our events showcase the latest evidence and research across a broad range of topics, encourage dialogue and collaboration, and identify practical steps to drive progress in cancer diagnosis.

Our next in-person Early Diagnosis Conference will take place in 2027. We will announce details shortly.

In the meantime, our 2026 early diagnosis event series reports are available to read
