Unlimited cancer research?
The exhibition ‘DA IST ETWAS. Cancer and Emotions’ at Magdeburg University Hospital has been providing comprehensive insights into the many facets of cancer since September 2024. In addition to the emotional aspects, a varied accompanying programme also focuses on the latest developments in cancer research. Sufferers, relatives, students and interested parties are cordially invited to attend.
On 16 January 2025, Prof. Dr Dimitrios Mougiakakos, Director of the University Clinic for Haematology, Oncology and Cell Therapy Magdeburg, and Prof. Dr Mariacarla Gadebusch Bondio from the Institute for Medical Humanities Bonn will discuss the opportunities and challenges of modern cancer research. There will also be a particular focus on the ethical issues raised by new therapeutic approaches such as personalised medicine: How far can research go to help cancer patients? What risks are associated with these new forms of treatment?
