The UCSF Cancer Early Detection and Interception (CEDI) initiative presents a symposium on Progress in Early Cancer Detection at the UCSF Mission Bay campus. The symposium will bring together faculty, trainees, clinicians, and researchers across disciplines to discuss the latest advances in cancer early detection.

We are honored to welcome Dr. Philip Castle, Director of the Division of Cancer Prevention at the NCI, as our keynote speaker. Additional sessions will cover organ-specific and multi-cancer screening, policy considerations, patient perspectives, AI applications, and recent insights from UCSF investigators.
