cancer screening programmes are made to prevent, detect, diagnose and treat earlier than before. Also, the unintended consequences of screening should be limited, e.g. over-diagnostics, profound control programmes and unnecessary use of resources. We want to establish a national network to identify, investigate and qualify future elements of significance to cancer screenings programmes. The initiative will unite researchers and experts from Denmark with the aim to lift research and implementation across screenings programmes and disciplines. The network will also work towards a nationally coordinated effort on public participation in relation to the screening programmes.
The network will with the funding from DCCC work on establishing a new national, interdisciplinary research centre in the field.
