Ms Alicia Dallisson
Student
Flinders University

Investigating consumer acceptability of a novel colorectal cancer screening test

Biography

Alicia Dallisson is a Medical Science Honours student in the Bowel Health Service team at Flinders University. Alicia is interested in finding novel, simplified methods to increase screening participation and reduce the incidence of colorectal cancer.
Ms Karen Omann Binderup
PhD Stud.
Randers Regional Hospital

Can DNA methylation be used to identify older screen-positive women at highest risk of cervical precancer and cancer?

Biography

Karen O. Binderup is a Ph.D.-student and medical student, studying the utility of DNA-methylation testing in gynaecological cancers. Her pre-graduate research focused on risk-stratification of older screen-positive women without a fully visible transformation zone at colposcopy, as this group of women poses a clinical diagnostic challenge. Her Ph.D.-research project aims to validate DNA-methylation testing in patient-collected urine and vaginal samples for endometrial cancer risk-stratification of women with postmenopausal bleeding.
